The selection of a spouse must be thought out thoroughly a couple has to get married for the right reasons or, according to the Koran, Allah will punish the man as stated:
<b>Whoever marries a woman solely for her power and position, Allah will only increase him in humiliation. Whoever marries a woman solely for her wealth, Allah will only increase him in poverty. Whoever marries a woman solely for her beauty, Allah will only increase him in ugliness. But whoever marries a woman in order that he may restrain his eyes, observe cautiousness and treat her kindly; Allah puts a blessing in her for him and him for her. </b>
