Here is the list of recommended readings to supplement your knowledge for the upcoming Gender Interactions Discussion Circle. Please do note that the discussion:
1) Would avoid discussing halal/haram issues with regards to premarital relationships
2) Would discuss the validity of the claim that love before marriage is a psychological delusion
3) Would assume on the premise that premarital relationships are haram (which of course is debatable but will not be debated during the discussion)
4) Would discuss the social impact of youth marriages as an alternative to premarital relationships, on the assumption that premarital relationships are haram
