Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu 'Adil from Dammam says: What is the ruling on forcing a woman to marry someone she does not want?
Answer:
That is not permissible. It is not permissible to force a woman to marry someone she does not want. Her opinion must be taken. The previously married woman is consulted, and the virgin also must have her consent and permission, which is her silence. If she is presented with the proposal and remains silent, she is considered consenting, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. A virgin cannot be forced to marry except by her father, if he sees the man as a suitable match for her and she is young; in that case, her father may marry her to him. Yes.
