A Correct answer
Explanation

Under Sunni Islamic law, marriage (nikah) is considered 'ibadat' (worship) - a sacred covenant and religious duty, not merely a contract for sexual gratification. While Shia law treats it primarily as a civil contract (aqd), the Sunni view elevates it to worship status. The statement correctly captures the Sunni perspective that marriage serves spiritual purposes beyond physical pleasure. Option A (True) is correct.
