Marriage Consent

SUMMARY: A woman should only be married with the consent of her guardian, someone of her family with sound judgement or the Sultan.

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Said ibn al-Musayyab had said that Umar ibn al-Khattab said, "A woman is only married with the consent of her guardian, someone of her family with sound judgement or the Sultan.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ لاَ تُنْكَحُ الْمَرْأَةُ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِ وَلِيِّهَا أَوْ ذِي الرَّأْىِ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا أَوِ السُّلْطَانِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about marriage and the importance of consent in it. It states that a woman should only be married with the consent of her guardian, someone of her family who has sound judgement or the Sultan. This means that no one can force a woman to marry against her will and she must give permission for it to happen. The hadith also emphasizes on having someone with sound judgement involved in this decision making process as they are more likely to make an informed decision about what is best for the woman in question. This hadith teaches us that marriage is an important decision which requires careful consideration and thought before taking any action.
