What would you say if this joke actually became real? Banks have imprisoned people by giving out loans and then taking returns through installments. What if these banks came up with the idea of organizing marriages through installments? This program could only proceed with the approval of Shariah bodies, which are always willing to give their blessings.
Banks could secure a number of possible brides through matchmakers and include different types of women that suit all tastes and ages. They could also offer different genres of marriages such as conventional marriages and Misyar marriages.
After a man has selected a suitable wife, the bank could finance the marriage costs with the marriage contract as its guarantee. If the man is unable to pay the installments, then the bank could have the right to force the man to divorce his wife and then marry her to another man — this would be especially easy as the law does not protect idiots and our banks are void of mercy or humanity.
With all respect to our young men and women, I do not believe that it is impossible to see this proposal materialize, especially due to the low salaries people earn and the increasing costs of living. It is clear that official circles have given banks the full freedom to enslave people through the current installment system of repaying loans.
