Hadeeth 8: A woman cannot be forced into marriage―and if her guardian marries her to a man without her permission and she dislikes that, the marriage is nullified: 40 Hadeeth on the Manners and Conduct of Women. In the name of Allah, Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy. All praise is due to Allah, Lord of all creation, and may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and all his Companions. Hadeeth 8: A Woman Cannot be Forced into Marriage. If a Guardian Marries her to Someone without her Permission, and she Dislikes that, the Marriage Contract is Nullified! Narrated from Ibn ‘Abbās (radiyallāhu anhumā) who said: أنَّ جاريةً بكرًا أتتِ النبيَّ صلّى اللهُ عليهِ وسلَّمَ فذكرَتْ أنَّ أباها زوَّجها وهي كارهةٌ فخيَّرها النبيُّ صلّى اللهُ عليهِ وسلَّمَ “A virgin girl came to the Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) and stated that her father had married her off against her will. So Allah’s Messenger allowed her to choose [to either stay with him or to leave him].” (Reported by Ahmad (2469), Abu Dāwud (2096, 2097) and Ibn Maajah (1875). Shaikh Al-Albāni graded the narration saheeh in his checking of Sunan Abī Dāwūd) Benefits and lessons: 1. Shaikh Ibn ‘Uthaimeen (rahimahullāh) and before him Shaikh Al-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah stated a woman cannot be married to a man except with her permission, regardless of her age, or whether or not she has been previously married. The Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) stated: لا تُنكحُ البكرُ حتى تُستأذنَ “A virgin cannot be given away in marriage until she gives her permission.” (Al-Bukhari, 5136). So the virgin is not to be married until she reaches the age when she is able to give her informed consent to marry. Ibn Shabramah from the well-known jurists stated: “This is the correct view: The father cannot marry off his daughter until she has reached the age of marriage (adulthood). And once she has reached the age of marriage, she cannot be married off unless she is happy with the marriage.” (See Sharh Al-Mumti’, 12/57-58 and 12/28, and his Tafseer of Al-Baqarah, 3/139-140) 2. The guardian (the father) has no right to spend the wealth of his daughter unless she gives him permission, so how is possible for him to take possession of her right over her body and give her away in marriage to someone she may regard to the most horrid of men. 3. Shaikh Al-Fawzān stated, “So this hadeeth proves that the guardian of a woman cannot marry her off except with her permission, even if she is a virgin. So long as she is an adult woman, and sane, there is no compulsion upon her. So she has the right to choose or refuse. If the guardian contracts a marriage without her being pleased, she has a free choice, if she wishes to remain (then the marriage is sound), because the contract is completed with its conditions. However, she has a choice to repel the harm she has been caused – so if she wishes, she can proceed (and accept) the contract, and if she wishes she can nullify it. This is a very important affair since there are many verifiers amongst the scholars who have said this: “The virgin cannot be forced by her guardian into marriage.” But you still find those who oppose that claiming that the guardian has a right to compel the virgin girl. So this hadeeth is a clear evidence in this matter, that she cannot be compelled. In this hadeeth also is proof that the nullification of the marriage is a particular duty assigned to the ruler because of the fact that this woman came to the Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) – and that clearly proves that if such an affair was to take place [in our times] then it is referred to a Shariah court. Then the court will investigate the matter so that the people do not fall into confusion.” (See Shaikh Al-Fawzān’s Tas-heel al-Ilmām bi-fiqhil-Ahādeeth min Bulūghil-Marām, Kitāb An-Nikāh, vol. 4, slightly abridged) 4. Abu Hurayrah (radiyallāhu ‘anhu) narrated that the Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) said: لاَ تُنْكَحُ الثَّيِّبُ حَتَّى تُسْتَأْمَرَ وَلاَ الْبِكْرُ حَتَّى تُسْتَأْذَنَ وَإِذْنُهَا الصُّمُوتُ “A previously married woman cannot be given in marriage except after consulting her and taking her permission – and a virgin should not be given in marriage except after she gives permission, and her silence [when she is asked] is her permission.” (Ibn Mājah, 1871, graded saheeh by Al-Albānī) In both cases, a guardian is a still a must for marriage, a marriage without the guardian’s permission is invalid.

Is this not contradictory if we pull out some Quran and hadith that contradict this. How old was Aisha when Muhammad married her? Is that an age of consent? Now there were women whom Muhammad married after killing there family members Is that also age of consent? I have more But note the hadith you quoted above and its injunctions..don't change verdict o 13 Likes 1 Share |

BlackfireX: Is that also age of consent?Yes. She was 16 when she got married and 19 when her marriage was consummated with Momo on Allah's revelation. What are you talking about? |

Why isn't this practised by Northern Muslims, many who marry off their daughters too young? It's as though Muslims choose to cherry pick which of the Hadiths they wish to follow and some of these Hadiths contradict each other. 6 Likes |

grandstar:That some Muslims choose not to practice it doesn't make it right. The rule is there for all to see. Just because some villagers who have no knowledge of the religion choose to normalize it for themselves that doesn't make it right. How many prominent wealthy or educated people will you see doing such? |

Op is using Taquiya for the gullible Taquiya is an act of Muslims using lies to conceal the truth. Op is unable to show evidence how a 8years Aisha becomes 16 and 19 years. Hadith were all written after the death of Mohammed. It's mostly based on Taquiya to rewriteor twisted negatives to appear positive. 2 Likes |

Iswap, bokoharam with their bandits allies takes slave brides all the time...this must be stopped. Do more to protect female children not just talk. Marrying children below 18 years is also a form of forced marriage because at a younger age a girl can't decide. |

Isn't marrying children below 18years classified as forced marriage. Is she of age to give consent??. |

You don't practice what you preach, because you married off children and teenagers as wives. |

We are on same side .... What is wrong is wrong ... a woman or teenager or girl should never be forced but in reality, most are being forced or threatened!!! PWANMaxGroup: |
