Is the fact that a girl does not marry, or other such worldly matters, considered evidence that God Almighty knew she would not be able to bear its burdens, in accordance with the noble verse: "Allah does not burden a soul beyond its scope"?
The meaning of the verse is that Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity. Thus, if one is unable to fulfill a religious obligation, it is lifted from them. A girl remaining unmarried does not fall under this category; rather, it is part of Allah's decree and provisions. A Muslim should be content with Allah's decree and recite the prescribed supplications. If a girl marries, she must bear the responsibilities of marriage. If she does not marry, she should utilize her time in serving her parents, learning the Qur’an and , diligently supplicating and seeking a righteous husband. There is no harm in her offering herself [for marriage] to someone whose religion and character she finds pleasing.
