Ḥurmat-i-Muṣāhrat is explained as the ‘musaharat’ that is established through marriage or occurrence of marriage. ‘Al-Muṣāharah’ is a blessing of God that is proven through the Holy Quran and Sunah. It guarantees sanctity of relations. On logical grounds, we cannot deny its need, significance and usefulness. Ḥurmat-i-Muṣāhrat proves ‘Ḥurmat-i-Mu’abbadah’. It prohibits marrying four types of women namely, Mother-in-law, Daughter of the wife provided that husband had intercourse with his wife, the wife of his real son and the wives of his father and forefather. Since Ḥurmat-i-Muṣāhrat’ is connected with the problems of ‘Hillat-o-Hurmat thus it is imperative to inform the masses about the sensitivity of this issue and warn them to adopt cautious measures so that they do not have to repent here and the world Hereafter and be successful. This article deals with the Muslim jurisprudential foundational discourse has been rendered to focus on the spots of living life styles in the present social fabric where variety of relations are settled down under a single congested space resulting different complex situations where people are nor aware of the harmful sharia implications.
