Abstract [sv]

Idag har många unga utbildade muslimer svårigheter att hitta en äktenskapspartner eftersom de inte längre accepterar de traditionella sätten att finna en partner. Artikeln diskuterar olika äktenskapsstrategier bland unga muslimer i Europa. Termerna tvångs-, arrangerade och kärelksäktenskap utreds. Den förändrade faktorerna för att välja en partner såsom familjestatus, ekonomiskt välstånd (och utbildning) och kärlek i muslimska äktenskap diskuteras. Artikeln menar att den islamiska juridiken, fiqh, borde ändras för att hjälpa unga muslimer att finna en partner.
