ameenahblogs answers (engagement, no marriage)

Is it a sin get engaged without getting married, like a lot of people do these days?

ameenahblogs answers: Good question. I am glad that you are concerned about sin. That is a sign of a pure heart. Engagement usually is the prelude to marital ties. Your point is valid that engagement is not marriage, and people should not treat engagement as marriage. Engagement is a temporary arrangement. It would lead to sin to remain engaged permanently.
