Forcing the Guardian to Marry His Daughter

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This person asks, may Allah preserve you: Is it valid for the father as guardian to force his daughter to marry, and that is for her benefit?

Answer:
If she is a minor, there is no harm in forcing her to do what is in her best interest. However, if she has reached puberty and is of sound mind, she must not be married off without her permission, without her permission. A woman is not to be married until she is consulted.
The virgin is to be consulted, and her silence is her permissionالبكر تستأذن وإذنها صماتها
Sahih Ibn Hibban 16:60
as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. As for the previously married woman, she must state her opinion explicitly, saying, "I desire this" or "I do not desire this," making her view clear. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
