Benefits and Issues:
➊
If there are friendly relations between two families, then in order to maintain and strengthen them, they should establish marital ties with each other.
If a man and a woman develop an inclination towards one another, then instead of establishing unlawful relations, it is better to establish a lawful relationship through marriage (nikah). However, in this, the other conditions of marriage must also be fulfilled, such as the permission of the woman's guardian (wali), the bridal due (mahr), offer and acceptance (ijab wa qubul), and the presence of witnesses, etc.
