Abstract
The focus here is also on reproductive health but with particular reference to Celibacy, Adoption, Widowhood Practices, Relations between Couples and the Muslim Family. The sacredness of the family institution is elaborated upon. Some reproductive health practices though common place, offend against Islam and stand discouraged, Though Islam recognises women's rights, it at the same time imposes some obligations on Muslim women.
