Should i consider this proposal?
Assalamualaikum everyone..I recently received a marriage proposal, and I’m a bit confused. I know him, he is my friend's cousin.. he’s a very nice and kind-hearted person. From what I’ve learned, he has all the qualities I look for in a husband—he’s religious, has a good character, very intelligent and polite, which aligns with my values.
However, there’s one thing I’m unsure about: He prefers that his wife does not work after marriage. While I respect his views, I’m not very career-oriented myself, so I don’t mind not working. But my family strongly believes that I should work—not just for my personal growth but also so that I don’t have to depend on anyone financially. They worry about what would happen if my partner doesn’t value me in the future.
Another thing is that I’m 26, and my family is concerned about why I’m still not married. I’ve received other proposals, but none of them felt right for me. This is the first one that actually seems like a good match in many ways.
I would love to hear different perspectives on this. What should i do?
