Forcing a father to marry his son to a woman he dislikes

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: My father wants me to marry a woman I do not want, in fact, I dislike her. My father says, "Marry her," and he does not want to go back on his word, since he has already asked for her from her family. Do I have the right to refuse, and would I be sinful for refusing?

Answer:
You may refuse, and there is no sin on you for doing so, because the right is yours. It is not permissible for anyone to be forced to marry someone they do not want, neither the woman nor the man. No one is forced. One of the conditions for the validity of the marriage contract is the consent of both spouses, each to the other. This is one of the conditions for the validity of the marriage contract: the consent of both spouses, and no one is forced into it. It is not the right of the father to force you to marry someone you do not want, and it is not the right of the father to force you to divorce. None of this is the right of the father. Divorce is your right, and marriage is your right. Yes.
