The ruling on preventing daughters from marriage on the grounds of youth

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In his second question he says: Is it permissible for the people of a Muslim town to collectively prevent their daughters from suitable suitors on the grounds that they are young and that times have changed?

Answer:
This is not permissible for them. This is a form of preventing marriage (i'dal). A woman needs marriage, a husband, and offspring, so they should not prevent them from marrying. Yes.
