Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. From Sudan, this questioner says: I want to get married, but my father, Honorable Shaykh, has chosen a wife for me from among his relatives; she is his sister's daughter. My mother also has a relative she wants to marry me to. So whom should I choose, and what should I do? May Allah reward you.

Answer:
You should take the one who is suitable for you, the one who is suitable for you, to whom your soul is inclined, and in whom you find peace. Take her, because marriage is a matter specific to you. Convince the father or the mother that your soul is inclined to this woman and that you find peace with her. Convince them of this so that their hearts are at ease. Yes.
