How should couples handle different financial backgrounds?

Different financial backgrounds can be managed when both spouses understand each other's expectations and avoid judging one another by wealth.

What Islam teaches

Islam does not make family wealth the measure of a person's honour. Character, faith and conduct remain important considerations.

What you can consider

Discuss lifestyle expectations openly and agree on realistic standards. Neither spouse should be humiliated because of a less wealthy background.

Qur'an 49:13; Qur'an 30:21.
