Abstract

The hadith on preferences in choosing a life partner “Women are married for four reasons…” is frequently interpreted in a partial and hierarchical manner, placing physical aspects such as beauty, wealth, and lineage on the same level as, or even above, religious values. Such textual-literal readings reproduce patriarchal norms and overlook the historical context of the hadith’s emergence. This study reinterprets the hadith through Hans-Georg Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics, emphasizing pre-understanding and the fusion of horizons between text and reader. Using a qualitative–critical approach and drawing on both classical (turāth) and contemporary scholarship, this research finds that religion in the hadith is not merely one of four equal considerations but serves as a normative critique of the materialistic and status-oriented tendencies of Arab society at the time. Non-physical criteria such as moral integrity, responsibility, and mutual respect represent the core religious values that should be prioritized. Through Gadamerian hermeneutics, the hadith is contextualized as an ethical guideline for forming marital relationships that are balanced, just, and free from patriarchal domination, reaffirming the primacy of religious values in contemporary practice

Abstract

The hadith regarding preferences in choosing a life partner, which states, "Women are married for four reasons..." is often interpreted in a partial and hierarchical manner, where physical aspects such as beauty, wealth, and lineage are positioned equally or even above religious values. This textual-literal interpretation tends to reproduce patriarchal norms and disregards the historical context in which the hadith was revealed. This study aims to reinterpret the hadith through the philosophical hermeneutics of Hans-Georg Gadamer, emphasizing pre-understanding and the fusion of horizons between the text and the reader. A qualitative-critical approach is employed, drawing on classical (turāth) and contemporary literature as the foundation for analysis. The findings reveal that religion, as mentioned in the hadith, is not merely one of four equal considerations but represents a normative critique against the materialistic and status-driven tendencies of Arab society at the time. Non-physical criteria such as moral integrity, responsibility, and mutual respect are identified as the essence of religious values to be prioritized. Through Gadamerian hermeneutics, this hadith can be contextualized as an ethical guideline for establishing marital relationships that are balanced, just, and free from patriarchal domination. Thus, this study offers an alternative, reflective, and contextually grounded interpretation of the hadith, reaffirming the importance of religious values in contemporary social practice.
