The ruling on marrying off a daughter without her consent
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Shaykh, what is the Shaykh's advice to some fathers who marry off their daughters without their consent?
Answer:
This is contrary to the Sunnah. She has the choice if she is aware of it. If she wishes, she can ratify the marriage, and if she wishes, she can reject it. This is if she has reached puberty or if she is a previously married woman. If she is a virgin who has reached puberty, or if she is a previously married woman, her consent is required. If her guardian, her father or her guardian, contracted a marriage for her and she did not consent, she has the choice.
If she wishes, she can proceed with the marriage, and if she wishes, she can annul it. As for the young girl who does not have the right to consent, such as the young girl who has not reached the age of discernment or has not reached puberty, the young girl who has not reached the age of maturity, it is specifically for her father to marry her off. And because she has no opinion, if he sees the benefit in marrying her off, he marries her off, as Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) did when he married the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to Aisha, and she was six years old. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) consummated the marriage with her, and she was nine years old. He is the role model, peace and blessings be upon him.[Al-Ahzab 33:21]. He is the role model, peace and blessings be upon him. This is if it is in the daughter's interest. As for marrying her off for his own interest or out of greed for her mahr, this is not permissible for him. Yes.
