Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If the guardian says to a man in jest, “I have married you to my daughter,” and the man says, “I accept,” but the daughter does not consent, is this considered a valid marriage?
Answer:
Yes. There is no jesting in marriage, and a jest in marriage is treated as serious. If he says, “I have married you,” the marriage is concluded. However, the daughter retains the option; if she does not consent, she has the option. Yes.
