{UAH} WHY DONT MUSLIM MEN MARRY WOMEN OLDER THAN THEM?

"I did not have a very supportive family growing up, an aggressive and abusive father, with my brothers being similar either verbally or physically, and although they have calmed down as I got older I still don't rely on them as they have never looked out for my wellbeing and only call when they need something financially from me. I met my husband whilst I was at uni, someone my family didn't approve of because he was from a different country, but he was the first Qawwam that truly wanted good for me, always looking out for me, making sure I wasn't without whilst I was studying at uni, and I was at peace, till the day he passed away. I was broken and lost and had no one to turn to other than Allah, my family unsupportive as usual. It took me many years to find peace and understand the will of Allah and I came to terms with it.

When I felt ready to move on, as I knew my husband would not want me to live my life alone, I spoke to many men all of whom were very judgmental, about my age, that I was a widow, that I was the wrong race/culture, some even talking about marriage but then changing their mind and causing me further heartbreak, reminding me of my husband and how I would never find a good man like him.

When I was ready to give up, I met my husband, he didn't judge me for my age despite being many years younger than me, he didn't judge me for being a widow, he didn't judge me for being a different race to him, he just saw me for me, someone that had love to give. He is different in many ways, but in some ways he reminds me of my first husband someone that truly looks out for my wellbeing. Meeting him I came to appreciate Allah is the best of planners and what a true man is. He is my #TrueQawwam"
