Day Questions

Non-Muslim couples consider that is alright to date and cohabit with a person without getting married. There is some form of agreement to be dating one another exclusively or for an engagement to marry in the future. They do not consider this to be adultery. In case they have children, will they be illegitimate?

Marriage is a common concept between humans and not something that is hidden. If the couple intended to form a relationship of marriage, then they are married even if they did not have a verbal contract between them, and the children then are considered as legitimate. If the couple were intending to have a physical relationship, i.e., sexual intercourse and emotional closeness, the relationship is not considered as marital relation, and the children are considered as out of wedlock.
