Freedom of marraige

Question
What is the Quranist view on one who chooses to not get married. Many Sunni/Shia say it is an obligation to marry. Although the Quran encourages marriage, is it absolutely required. If someone doesn't want to get married (and won't fall into sin) is it permissible to stay single?
Answer

In Islam it is unlimited freedom in religion and also to marry or to not marry.
