Marriage in Islam is a form of worship. By entering into a marriage you fulfill half of your religion. Marriage changes the relationship between a man and a woman. What used to be haram is now halal. Marriage is a sacred event and has the value of worship. PPME The Hague can help to complete marriage according to Islamic teachings.

وَأَنكِحُوا۟ ٱلْأَيَـٰمَىٰ مِنكُمْ وَٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ مِنْ عِبَادِكُمْ وَإِمَآئِكُمْ ۚ إِن يَكُونُوا۟ فُقَرَآءَ يُغْنِهِمُ ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِۦ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ وَٰسِعٌ عَلِيمٌۭ

Marry off the ˹free˺ singles among you, as well as the righteous of your bondmen and bondwomen. If they are poor, Allah will enrich them out of His bounty. For Allah is All-Bountiful, All-Knowing. An-Nur: 32
