Quick comebacks when they ask the question
OK, so not all of these are halal. But they're still pretty funny. 
TWENTY QUICK COME BACKS
1. What? And spoil my great sex life?
2. Why aren't you dating/divorced yet?
3. It gives my Mother/Father something to live for.
4. I'm not willing to give up on love just yet.
5. Just lucky, I guess.
6. I already have enough laundry to do, thank you. 
7. Is this a proposal?
8. Because I think it would take all the spontaneity out of dating.
9. I'm waiting for you to get divorced so I can marry your wife/husband.
10. It didn't seem worth a blood test.
11. The mail order bride/groom hasn't arrived from Russia yet.
12. "I'm not done boozing and whoring"
13. Because having both a husband and a child would be redundant. 
14. I'd have to forfeit my billion dollar trust fund.
15. I'm waiting for your son/daughter to turn 18. 
16. Because your [wifehusband] won't leave you
17. Why settle for just one.
18. "Because I haven't found a partner who can make me as happy as I make myself."
19. So I don't have to cheat on my left hand. 
20. My prince charming made a wrong turn.

Re: Quick comebacks when they ask the question
Forgive me if I'm being a little slow, but what is "the question"?

"Why aren't you married yet?" or some variation on that theme.

Ah, I see. I thought the question was "Will you marry me?" and with that in mind, the list of comebacks seemed odd.

Re: Quick comebacks when they ask the question
Awesome.
Now we need quick comebacks for when they ask why you don't have kids yet (after you get married).

Re: Quick comebacks when they ask the question
THE best response is "I'll cut you!"
Trust me..any situation "Do you like cheese?"
"I'll cut you"

"There is no difference whether you have a basketful or a small piece. They all taste the same," Hodja remarked.

Re: Quick comebacks when they ask the question
Yeah these comebacks are great if you're using them on a simpleton. But if the other person fires right back and makes you wish you hadn't said it, then its not so fun eh

Re: Quick comebacks when they ask the question
I don't understand why 'they' think you are either automatically engaged, married, or spoken-for if you are young, A Woman, A Muslim and a Hijaabi.  And if not, you *need* to be hooked up with someone.

And Allâh guides not the people who are Al-Fâsiqűn.
