Question:I am a female in my early 20’s and I wanted to ask that if there are no proposals coming through because I may not be that attractive and females are usually married for their looks, is there any dua I can read or anything I can do to help me get married, as I am aware that marriage completes half the deen.

Ayatollah:Sistani

Answer: Never put yourself down and be confident and trust in Allah that He will provide. Read ziyarat ashura for 40 consecutive nights and ask by the right of Ahl ul Bayt (as) to help you in this matter.
Question:I have been committing a grave sin regularly and was unable to stop. I spoke to a local sheikh and they advised I get permanently married. I spoke to another sheikh who told me it would be almost impossible to stop sinning without marriage, but it has been years and I am still unmarried. They said muta was an option, but I strongly prefer permanent marriage. My parents are against the idea of doing muta and want me to have permanent wife instead.

Is there any advise you can give me? Is there anything else I can do to reduce sinning? I have tried fasting once per week and I make dua for marriage regularly. Is there maybe any other solution for this?

Ayatollah:Khamenei

Answer: You could make a nazr (vow) that if you commit the sin then you have to do such and such for example fasting 3 days or give a certain amount of charity. Something difficult for you. This would defer you because when you want to commit the sin you will think of the things you have vowed to do if you make that sin.
