for sharing your input bro, as always very interesting, Must meet you one day inshâ Allâh, however I doubt I will ever come to US so we'll have to reschedule this for the âkhirah, .

Just one question, did your wife/wali have any conditions attached like "You need to reach this and that university grade, else you won't get my agreement to marry"? And did you have employment at the time of marriage?

Apologies for asking so much, but I need to compare to get a better understanding...

I was employed and had my own apartment - so I apeared to them to be financialy stable

The wali did encourage her to require me to have a bachelors degree, but she declined seeing at as unimportant as long as I can support her and a child.

The reasons she married me were based on religious reasons - of all the men who had proposed to her, she felt that none of them had any deep knowledge of Islam (fiqh, as well as the spiritual aspects of Islam) as they were all la madhabi salafi bros - so she wanted to marry me because I am one of the few brothers she had met who followed a madhab and new I was following a specific madhab - she overestimated my knowledge though (as new shahdahs do)
