Question:
One of the sisters says: My father refuses to let me get married, and I am now forty-five years old. Is he sinful for doing this? And what is your advice to fathers who do this?
Answer:
This is not permissible. Preventing a woman from marriage when she needs it is forbidden. Her guardian should hasten to marry her off to preserve her chastity and to realize the benefits of marriage. If he refuses to marry her off, she should take her case to the judge. Yes.
The presenter:
Yes.
