Sahih al-Bukhari 6946 (Book 89, Hadith 7) #6676
Women's Consent in Marriage

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that a woman's silence is her consent when it comes to marriage.

Narrated 'Aisha: I asked the Prophet, "O Allah's Messenger ! Should the women be asked for their consent to their marriage?" He said, "Yes". I said, "A virgin, if asked, feels shy and keeps quiet". He said, "Her silence means her consent".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرٍو ـ هُوَ ذَكْوَانُ ـ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يُسْتَأْمَرُ النِّسَاءُ فِي أَبْضَاعِهِنَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ نَعَمْ ‏"‏‏.‏ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّ الْبِكْرَ تُسْتَأْمَرُ فَتَسْتَحِي فَتَسْكُتُ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ سُكَاتُهَا إِذْنُهَا
