Refusing a suitable suitor by the woman's guardian

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. What is the ruling on a woman's guardian refusing a suitable suitor? And what is the ruling of the Shari'ah regarding this action?

Answer:
Answer: Refusing a suitable suitor when the woman being proposed to has consented to him is forbidden; this is not permissible. It is a forbidden act of coercion (i'dhal). However, if she does not consent to him, she cannot be forced to marry him. Yes.
