My father wants to marry me to a man who does not pray, so what should I do?

Question:
May Allah reward you. This is a female listener who sent a number of questions but did not mention her name or use a code. In her first question, she says: I am a girl of seventeen years old, and my father wants to marry me to my cousin. He, meaning her cousin, does not pray and is not characterized by good character or religion, and his family is not among those who pray; rather, they are in misguidance, except for his sister. So what should I do? I do not want him for the reasons I mentioned. If it happens that my father marries me off without my consent, because my father also does not pray, am I sinful in living with him? Is the contract lawful or unlawful? Also, my uncle does not pray, so what should I do in this case? I ask for the answer. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
You must refer this matter to the Shari'ah court to examine what you mentioned to see if it is true or not, and the court is sufficient for this, if Allah wills. Yes.
