The      guardian should only give her in marriage for her interests, not for his      own.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said: With regard to giving her      in marriage when she is reluctant, this is contrary to the basic principles      and common sense. Moreover Allah did not allow her guardian to force her      into buying or renting without her permission, or to eat or drink or wear      something that she does not want, so how can he force her into sleeping with      and living with someone she does not want to sleep with, and living with      someone she does not want to live with.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Allah wants love and compassion between the spouses, and how      can that be attained when she hates him and does not like him? What kind of      love and compassion can there be in that case?!<\/p>\r\n<p>End quote from <em>Majmoo&lsquo; al-Fataawa<\/em>, 32\/25&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Secondly:&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>If the marriage contract has been done even though she was      reluctant, then this marriage contract depends on the woman&rsquo;s decision. If      she accepts it, then it becomes a valid marriage contract, and if she does      not then it is an invalid contract.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>It was narrated that Buraydah ibn al-Haseeb said: A girl came      to the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and said: My      father married me to his brother&rsquo;s son so that he might raise his own status      thereby. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) gave her the      choice, and she said: I approve of what my father did, but I wanted women to      know that their fathers have no right to do that.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Narrated by Ibn Maajah, 1874. It was classed as saheeh by al-Buwaysiri      in Masaabeeh az-Zujaajah, 2\/102. Similarly Shaykh Muqbil al-Waadi&lsquo;i stated:      (It is) saheeh according to the conditions of Muslim. End quote from <em>as-Saheeh      al-Musnad<\/em>, p. 160&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>In the event that the woman does not accept this marriage,      then it is invalid and she has to tell the one who did this marriage      contract with her about that. He does not have the right to force her to      engage in intercourse and intimacy, and she does not have the right to allow      him to do that so long as she does not accept this marriage.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Although the ruling on this marriage is that it is invalid,      this ruling cannot be proven or established unless the man divorces her by      talaaq or the court issues a ruling to that effect, because of the      difference of opinion among the scholars concerning the validity of such a      marriage; many scholars regard this marriage as permissible.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Based on that, you have to refer the matter to the Islamic judge (qaadi) to pass a verdict that this marriage is annulled.<\/p>\r\n<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"padding: 3px; padding-right: 6px; text-align: right;\">Islam Q&amp;A<\/div>","status":1,"created_at":"2015-01-31T21:51:57.000000Z","updated_at":"2015-01-31T21:51:57.000000Z","language_id":1,"fatawacate_id":36,"parent_id":8935,"author_id":"","books":[],"articles":[],"videos":[],"audios":[],"author_name":"","category_name":"\u0639\u0642\u062f \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0643\u0627\u062d","category_slug":"","get_date":"2015-01-31"},"translations":[],"fatawa_books":[],"fatawa_articles":[],"fatawa_videos":[],"fatawa_audios":[],"url":"http:\/\/www.islamland.com\/eng\/api\/fatawas\/8936"}
