Sunan Abi Dawud 2099 (Book 12, Hadith 54) #22390
Women's Rights and Permission

SUMMARY: A woman has more right to her person than her guardian and the father of a virgin should ask for her permission.

The above tradition has been transmitted by 'Abd Allaah bin Al Fadl through his chain of narrators and with different meaning. The version goes "A woman without a husband has more right to her person than her guardian and the father of a virgin should ask her permission about herself". Abu Dawud said " The word "her father" is not guarded.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ وَمَعْنَاهُ قَالَ ‏"‏ الثَّيِّبُ أَحَقُّ بِنَفْسِهَا مِنْ وَلِيِّهَا وَالْبِكْرُ يَسْتَأْمِرُهَا أَبُوهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ ‏"‏ أَبُوهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ لَيْسَ بِمَحْفُوظٍ
