Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner asks: Is it permissible for a woman's guardian to prevent a woman under his care from marrying an upright man because the man is from a country other than the woman's country?
Answer:
Perhaps he is upright and righteous, but there may be other considerations that make the marriage unsuitable. It may not be in the woman's best interest to marry a man from another country, far from her family and her guardian. One looks at the interests involved; we do not know what the reason is. It may be that the guardian noticed that her marriage to a man from outside her country would cause her harm in the future. Yes.
