The ruling on a father forcing his daughter to marry
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is another questioner who says: What is the ruling on a father forcing his daughter to marry?
Answer:
A father does not force his daughter to marry if she is of age; he must take her permission. If she is a previously married woman, she must explicitly state her answer and express her desire. However, if she is a virgin, her silence is sufficient. If she remains silent, that is evidence of her desire, because if she had any objection, she would have explicitly refused. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Her permission is her silence.” Therefore, the permission of an adult woman, whether she is a virgin or a previously married woman, is required. Yes.
