Question:
Is a woman's consent a condition for the validity of the contract?
Answer:
It is necessary, yes. If she is nine years old or older, but if she is under nine, her father has the right to marry her off. If she is under nine, just as Abu Bakr married 'Aishah to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when she was under nine and did not seek her permission, because she has no opinion as long as she is under nine. Specifically, her father has the right to marry her off when she is under nine.
As for anyone other than the father, he does not marry her off except with permission, once she is nine years old or older. The permission of a young girl is her silence; the permission of an unmarried woman is her silence.
