Marriage is one of the Islamic personal practices which the
Prophet (pbuh) encouraged within the Muslim Ummah (community)
especially for those who could afford it. An eminent relationship has been
observed between Islam and the custom of the Pakhtun people living in
Pakistan. In Pakhtuns, apart from Islamic injunctions, the Pakhtunwali
(Pakhtun Code of Life) serves as a pillar of society. It tends to bring social
harmony and integrity through the socio-cultural, economic, religious and
political aspects of Pakhtuns. The current study focuses on different
customs of Pakhtun which have been misconceived with regard to Islamic
injunctions and which are the prevalent laws of the Pakhtun and of course
the regulator of Pakhtunwali. The research particularly emphasizes
customs of marriage which are barriers to marriages in contemporary
Pakhtun Muslim society. The paper juxtaposes the Pakhtun customary
practices relating to marriage with Islamic injunctions. In order to do so,
different types of respondents in the area of Peshawar Pakistan were
interviewed. In the end, the paper recommends that Prophetic traditions
should be introduced in marriages in the Pakhtun area of Pakistan.
