This questioner, Abu 'Umar from Riyadh, says: We would like guidance from Shaykh Salih regarding those who prevent their daughters from marrying suitable young men, for religious or worldly reasons.
Answer:
It is not permissible for a guardian to prevent his ward, a woman, from marrying if a suitable suitor proposes and she consents to him. It is not permissible for him to prevent her from marrying out of greed for her salary. If he prevents her, she has the right to go to the judge to have his guardianship transferred to another relative.
