"civil contract".

There has been a constant chat by critques that Muslim marriage is nothing but a "civil contract". V. P. Bharatiya refutes this accusition beautifully on page 54 of his book "Muslim Law". He writes,
"Seen for the religious angle, Muslim marriage is an ibadat (devotional act). The Prophet is reported to have said that marriage is essential for every physically fir Muslim who can afford it. Moreover the following traditions may also be considered:
'He who marries completes half of his religion.'
'There are three persons whom the Almights Himself has undertaken to help - first........;second, he who marries.....;third......"
"...whoever marries a woman in order that he may retain his eyes - God putteth belessedness between them".
The prophet is reported by some writers to say that marriage is a jihad; it is sinful not to contract marriage; it is a Sunnah; and it is obligatory on those who are physically fit.
Now, if marriage is nothing but a civil contract, then keeping in view the above traditions we could say: He who enters into a civil contract completes half of his religion; the Almighty Himself has undertaken to help the person who enters into a civil contract; civil contract is equal to jihad and so on. All these inferences are patent absurdities, and are untenable. Which means Muslim marriage is something more than a civil contract."

Did you learn something new today?
