Sahih Muslim 1408g (Book 16, Hadith 45) #10580
Proposing Marriage and Divorce Etiquette

SUMMARY: A man should not propose to a woman if his brother has already done so, and a woman should not ask for her sister to be divorced in order to deprive her of what is rightfully hers.

Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Apostle as saying: A man must not make proposal of marriage to a woman when his brother has done so already. And he must not offer a price for a thing for which his brother had already offered a price; and a woman must not be combined in marriage with her father's sister, nor with her mother's sister, and a woman must not ask to have her sister divorced in order to deprive her of what belongs to her, but she must marry, because she will have what Allah has decreed for her.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ يَخْطُبُ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ وَلاَ يَسُومُ عَلَى سَوْمِ أَخِيهِ وَلاَ تُنْكَحُ الْمَرْأَةُ عَلَى عَمَّتِهَا وَلاَ عَلَى خَالَتِهَا وَلاَ تَسْأَلُ الْمَرْأَةُ طَلاَقَ أُخْتِهَا لِتَكْتَفِئَ صَحْفَتَهَا وَلْتَنْكِحْ فَإِنَّمَا لَهَا مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهَا

Respect your siblings' decisions when it comes to proposing marriages or divorces.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us the etiquette of proposing marriage and divorce. It is important that when one brother proposes marriage to a woman, the other brother should not do so as well. Similarly, it is wrong for a woman to ask for her sister's divorce in order to deprive her of what belongs to her; instead she must marry because Allah has decreed it for her. We can learn from this hadith that we must respect our siblings' decisions and be mindful of our actions when it comes to marriage proposals or divorces.
