Part One:
Elevating love often separates it from sex, a notion frequently expressed in plays, movies, and literature. This attempt to idealize love might aim to refine societal perspectives, but it is misleading. Mahbub Hasan’s Facebook status and comments highlight this. Tanvir Rahman asserts that sex is vital for a successful marriage, essential for its survival until old age when it may no longer matter. Biological needs are inherent and universal.
Part Two:
Another fallacy is ignoring beauty, claiming even ugliness is good, often to combat superficial standards. Beauty holds value, yet youth and beauty themselves are inherently attractive.
A rich ugly man married a beautiful woman – sad too? Are you not married? – Don’t be sad, beauty is directly given by Allah. Some people get money through inheritance, some people get it through hard work.
If a wealthy, unattractive man marries a beautiful woman, it’s seen as a logical union—wealth can attract beauty just as inherited riches do. Hard-earned wealth, in particular, justifies such marriages.
Part Three:
The notion of “Love Testing” in cinema and literature portrays extreme sacrifices, suggesting love involves worshipping one’s partner unconditionally. Such portrayals mislead, causing unrealistic expectations in real-life marriages. True love is not self-destructive; it’s the natural behavior of youth, meant to foster long-term partnerships and family nurturing. While sex is crucial initially, its importance diminishes with age, leaving love to evolve into a deeper connection fostered by time spent together.
