lowlier than dust.”[6]
Islam dislikes men who marry idiot women in order that families will be saved from decline. Imam
as‐Sadiq (a) relates Imam Ali’s saying, “Beware of marrying

idiot women. The companionship of the she‐idiot is an ordeal, and their sons are waste.”[1]
In the same way, Islam warns against marrying insane women so that the society will not come
upon irregular and unsound individuals. Imam al‐Baqir (a) was asked whether it was appropriate
to marry women after they had been loved. “No,” answered the Imam, “It is not undesirable to
copulate with the insane bondmaid on condition that she would not have children.”[2]
The Imams urged Muslims on testing and checking women before taking in marriage, for assuring
whether such women or their families are empty of any mental or physical disability, lest such a
disability will be common in the society.
Secondly, Islam stresses that women should identify precisely the men they choose as the life
partners. This identification is the responsibility of the women’s guardians. Imam ar‐Rida (a) told
that his father related that the Prophet (s) said, “Matrimony is slavery. You will be slavering your
daughters when you marry them; therefore, check the individuals you are going to give your
daughters to in slavery.”[3]
Islam warns against marrying the drunkard. The Prophet (s) said, “For those who marry their
daughters to the drunkards, they are cutting off the relations of kinship.”
In modern medicine, it has been proven that sons receive genetically the effects of the
intoxicants. Dr. Brogans says, “Alcoholism causes barrenness. Duncan reports the story of the
alcoholic lady that could not be pregnant for years while she had no physiological problem at all.
As she was treated from dipsomania for one year, she could bear a baby. The same thing is
applied to men. The reason is that the alcoholic materials enfeeble the backbone and paralyzes
the brain. The offspring of those who are poisoned by such drugs receive genetically these
poisons. Hence, they are dangerous not only for the drunkards, but also for their descendants,
