Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a girl to refuse marriage in its entirety, because she does not feel she has the ability to carry out the responsibilities of marriage and bear its burdens, and does she sin if she does so? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
She does not have the right to refuse marriage; rather, she must have good expectations of Allah and seek His help. Marriage contains benefits and much good, so she must resolve to do it without hesitation and proceed with the marriage, and there will be good in it, if Allah wills.
