What if there was no children in the picture? Let's say a childfree couple and they both work. Can less responsibilities make marriage a haven?
Yeah it will be way easier but what the point of marriage without children 😂 it’s pointless.
If you two in love why not create kids together plus when you get older who will inherit the properties.

We can always donate our properties to relatives or orphans.

My biggest fear is becoming resentful after having kids. Lots of women are posting how they regret motherhood and say if they were to go back in time, they wouldn't choose this life. Imagine how that affects the poor children who are being raised by parents that resent them and see them as a burden.

It's better to never have children than to be a terrible parent imo..

honestly I think you should ignore what people say and just don't worry about it. sure, try to get married and have kids and all that. but ultimately, it's already written whatever Allah provides you with. Allah may provide you with four wives and thirty children. Allah may provide you with no wife and no kids.

whatever is written for you is already written so focus on Allah and don't worry. and if you don't marry, don't have kids, never let anyone make you think that makes you any lesser because Sheikh ul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah and I believe Imam Nawawi never married or had kids as well and I think they are greater than all of us.

btw I believe Imam Ahmad got married at 40 or after 40. don't stress over this kind of thing, what Allah has written for you will come to you. and if you are worried about dunya then call your family members and uphold ties of kinship because this is a means of increasing your rizq.

Women of Somali origin?
 
I've not seen online posts of somali women saying they regret having kids. It's mostly white & other black women. Google #marriedsinglemoms..

I’m glad Somali women don’t be broadcasting this cause it’s a whole other level. Waa maqley gaalo women doing this laakin didn’t know it has its own hashtag. They are just upset at themselves for their selection in a mate. Those poor kiddos deserve better than mamas who complain online about taking care of them.

I searched up that hashtag and feel sympathetic for them. marriage and child-rearing require women to sacrifice a lot for the betterment of their families.

Yeah, marriage is a bit of a gamble. It's hard to be 100% sure you've chosen the right partner until you've lived together and/or have children in the picture..
