Islam has instituted a system that safeguards man's honor and dignity. The relationship between man and woman only occurs after the mutual consent of both parties is sought, and the marriage is attested and witnessed by others and that both spouses belong to each other. The Islamic society is one that is safe and secure from social problems. Love and affection, between husband and wife, are normal feelings [in Islam]. As long as this love is pure, innocent, and lawful, Islam acknowledges it. The Prophet said: "There is nothing better for two who love one another than marriage." (Ibn Majah)
