Abstract
Family is the basic unit and an integral part of society that starts from the
legitimated bond of marriage between a man and woman. Family implies an
organized structure of mutual duties and rights. A successful social system
can exist only if the balance of duties and rights is maintained. Ignoring so
can pave the way to social conflicts that is why Islam gives primitive
importance to family system and presents a code of conduct following which
can ensure a successful social system. Islam has mentioned the duties and
rights of every individual regardless of age and gender. In the Holy Quran,
the family matters have been discussed in rather detail. The rights of
parents, spouses, kids and other relatives have been explained with special
reference. Similarly, the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) has given special
consideration to marital life. He has regarded a person the most superior
among all who keeps a mild relation with his spouse. Moreover, he gave
example of a good family member as father for his children and a husband
for his wives. In the books of Islamic jurisprudence, the family matters have
been discussed under the title of personal affairs which meets the core
objectives of human life. This detail shows that the family has a symbolic
role in the building of a developed society. This article shall cover all the
aspects of social system and the determination of rights therein in Islamic
perspective.
