Description
Summary:The focus of this study is to examine and to investigate the contemporary trends and factors that influence the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) undergraduate Malaysian students in selecting a life partner. Within the last few years, patterns of mate selection and marriage rituals in the contemporary Muslim population in Malaysia and all around the world under consideration have begun to change significantly. Thus, a survey research is conducted involving IIUM undergraduate Malaysian students in order to gather information towards the significance of those trends. Survey research includes the distribution of questionnaire to the sample of study. The data collected from the sample size of 136 were analysed using a descriptive statistic method in Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The researcher also uses the library based research by reviewing previous literatures written on this topic. One of the significant findings throughout the research is that majority of the respondents agreed that Qur'Én and Sunnah are the guidelines that Muslim students need to refer when selecting a life partner but in the meantime; majority of them also believed that “falling-in-love” is the main factor in deciding a life partner.
