Abstract
This paper discusses the material related to marriage in two adab anthologies, namely the 'Uyn al-akhbr of Ibn Qutayba and al- 'Iqd al-fard of Ibn Abd Rabbih. The first part discusses the particular caveats and concerns when dealing with such compilations. The second part details the findings relating to marriage and the attributes of the "ideal spouse."
