Marriage is a bond, which is one of the most sacred bonds in Islam. This article shares the facts that are not true but most Muslims believe them!

**Table of Contents**

## **1. Islam allows forced marriages**

In the Holy Quran, it is stated;

![Surah An-Nisa](https://theislamicinformation.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Surah-An-Nisa-1024x1024.jpg)

This applies similarly to men Forcing anyone guy or a girl is strictly prohibited in Islam!

## **2. Husband needs permission of First Wife to marry again**

In the third verse of Surah An-Nisa, it is stated;

![surah an nisa](https://theislamicinformation.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/surah-an-nisa-1024x1024.jpg)

So, the permission of the first wife isn't the prerequisite, although there are some other conditions that need to be fulfilled.

## **3. The way to divorce is saying it 3 times!**

It is instructed in the verse of Surah At-Talaq in Qu'ran;

## **4. After the divorce, the couple can never marry each other**

This isn't true at all. in the case of Talaq e Ahsan, after divorce, the couple can remarry without the Wife doing the Halala (which is haraam). Furthermore, in the case of Talaq e Hassan and Lian, the girl should marry someone else and after getting divorced from that person, then they can remarry

## **5. Husbands are allowed to beat their wives**

This is one of the biggest misconceptions about Islam, beating anyone, their wife, children, parents, or anyone else is not allowed in Islam. In Suran An-Nisa it is stated;

It is your wife's right to have a separate house for her and you live with her. This is not allowed to have her with in-laws!
