Abstract
"Islam is a complete way of life. It guides a Muslim in beliefs, worship, dealings with others, social life and morals. It shows what to do in times of happiness and sadness, weddings and death etc. Yet it is sad to say that the Muslims are neglecting the laws of Shariah. This can be clearly seen at engagements and weddings where free mixing of the sexes has gone to such extent that very few seem to notice that what happens is completely against the Shariah. Hurmat-e- Musahara is a law of Shariah that forbids specific males from marrying specific females. This law applies when there has been unlawful contact between a male and female (intentionally or unintentionally) within certain conditions laid down by Shariah."
