The Ruling on Describing the Prevention of Girls’ Marriage as Symbolic Burial
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the present age, there are those who interpret (the burial of daughters) as making marriage difficult and preventing girls from marrying. They say: Is this symbolic burial?
Answer:
No, it is not burial. However, it is obligatory for the guardians to assist in marrying off their wards. Otherwise, it is not called “burial.” But preventing them from their need [for marriage] is one of the causes of the increase of lewd acts. We ask Allah for safety.
