Divine Wisdom on Nikah

وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ أَنْ خَلَقَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا لِّتَسْكُنُوا إِلَيْهَا وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَكُم مَّوَدَّةً وَرَحْمَةً ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
"And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquillity in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought."
📖 Surah Ar-Rum, Chapter 30, Verse 21 Read on Quran.com ↗
وَكَيْفَ تَأْخُذُونَهُ وَقَدْ أَفْضَىٰ بَعْضُكُمْ إِلَىٰ بَعْضٍ وَأَخَذْنَ مِنكُم مِّيثَاقًا غَلِيظًا
"And how could you take it back, when you have already gone into one another, and they (the wives) have taken from you a solemn covenant (mithaqan ghalizhan)?"

"Marry women who are loving and fertile, for I will boast of your great numbers before the nations on the Day of Resurrection."
