FAMILY
RESOURCE CENTRE –Islamic Marriage Bureau
Islamic Marriage Bureau at Family Resource Centre
(FRC) was set up with the aim of facilitating sustainable marriages
and blissful family life within the context of Islam. The Chief
Kadhi, the Chairman of SUPKEM, several Imams& Sheikhs from Nairobi
as well as concerned brothers and sisters came together, to look
into family issues affecting the Muslim Community in Kenya. Some
interesting observations came up;
-
That there were many educated, respectable and suitable young
Muslim Women eligible for marriage, waiting for suitable spouses
who are not forthcoming
-
That about 50% of marriages in Nairobi is between Muslims and
non-Muslims or Reverts who may convert to Islam for the sake
or marriage only
-
That a significant number of our marriages end up in divorce
for various reasons
It was against this background that FRC was set up
with the following mandate:-
-
To offer Counseling Services for spouses who have problems
with their marriages as well as offer pre-marital Counseling
for those planning to marry.
-
To establish a database for all prospective spouses looking
for partners and assist them find suitable partners according
to their specifications within the boundaries of Islam and accordance
to the
sunnah
of our prophet (P.B.U.H),hence to promote

To look into the factors which contribute to our social problems
