Was Jesus (as) married?

This cannot be said with certainty. It is possible that Jesus (as) married after he was saved from the cross, but it is equally possible that he remained unmarried.

Some think the first verse above proves that every prophet was married, and so Jesus (as) must have been too. But the verse speaks of the messengers in general. It says that God gave prophets wives and children and that they were ordinary human beings. It does not say that there was not a single exception.

The best example comes from the very time of Jesus (as). John (as), who appeared shortly before him, was also a prophet. He was killed before he married and died unmarried as a martyr. If the verse need not include him, it need not necessarily include Jesus (as) either.

The Holy Qur’an teaches that Jesus (as) did not die on the cross but was saved and lived on afterwards. Whether he married in those later years, the Holy Qur’an does not say. It is quite possible, but it is equally possible that he remained unmarried.

Nothing in faith depends on this. Married or not, Jesus (as) was a human being and a messenger of God, like the prophets before him. What matters is his message, not whether he had a family.
