The ruling on a father forcing his daughter to marry
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Is it permissible for a father to force his daughter to marry a man she does not want, given that this father is harsh in his dealings with his family and his daughters, and he wants specific individuals? What is the ruling on this marriage if it is carried out against the daughter's will?
Answer:
This marriage is not permissible if she does not want the husband. It is not permissible for her father or her guardian to force her into it. He must take her opinion and her desire into account, and she must be consulted and given permission regarding the contract. This is her right. However, if her father acted oppressively and forced her to marry a man she does not want, she has the choice: if she wishes, she may annul this marriage, and if she wishes, she may ratify it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
