He again said,.. More

Marriage based on admiration
Assalaamu alaykum. My teacher said that a marriage based on attraction is not valid. So, for example, if I like a man because he is handsome or has other quality and do not marry him because of Allah or because of obedience, but simply to marry him, is it not valid?

Bride's brother acting as her Wali - Tense of marriage contract
Assalaamu alaykum.

2. Do Ijaab and Qabool (offer and acceptance) have to be said in the past tense e.g. 'I have accepted'? If they are not said in the past tense, is the marriage nonetheless valid?
May Allah reward you.
