Sunan an-Nasai 3265 (Book 26, Hadith 70) #17877
Seeking Permission Before Marriage

SUMMARY: A previously married woman should not be married without her permission and a virgin should not be married without her consent.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah said: "A previously married woman should not be married until her permission has been sought, and a virgin should not be married until her consent is sought". They said: "O Messenger of Allah, how does she give her permission?" He said: "Her permission is if she keeps silent".
أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ دُرُسْتَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، أَنَّ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ تُنْكَحُ الثَّيِّبُ حَتَّى تُسْتَأْذَنَ وَلاَ تُنْكَحُ الْبِكْرُ حَتَّى تُسْتَأْمَرَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ إِذْنُهَا قَالَ ‏"‏ إِذْنُهَا أَنْ تَسْكُتَ
