Missing out on parenthood...?

[Guest Lost Soul]

Unfortunately it looks like I am probably going to miss out on getting married and having a child.

I really want to become a parent/have a child... however since its going to be a dream that wont come true...

For those who may say you can have kids in heaven or something?? What's point? The kids will be raised and know everything, you dont get to teach them and look after them. its like having a friend...

I don't know your situation. but you can teach and guide children through family members, volunteer work, child-centered employment, and more. Even if you can't be a parent, you can still participate in raising children.

Duas that your life is meaningful.

[Quran313]

Marriage becoming a big problem especially with social media (youtube, insta, tiktok, ...). It's not a western society issue anymore. It's in Islamic countries as well. Guys/Girls see how beautiful and handsome a partner should be (social media just shows the good stuff. it's a hoax), how wealthy and dreamy home he has, etc. They expect same from their partner.

This is true but it doesn't apply to every single case where it is difficult to get married. Sometimes, people can be in unusual and rare circumstances where it is not possible for them to get married at all.

For example, if a young man is accused of some crime and is serving a life sentence in prison, it could be likely that he is forced to spend his entire life without getting married. Or suppose a young man has some sort of disease in which he is bed bound and paralyzed completely for his entire life, then it might be possible that he has to spend his entire life without ever being able to get married because women would not marry a man like that. 

So we can't blame these individuals for not getting married because getting married isn't an option for them. So the reason why they are unmarried isn't because of social media, but because of their exceptional circumstances.
