89.4 Marriage under coercion is invalid

٨٩۔٤ باب لاَ يَجُوزُ نِكَاحُ الْمُكْرَهِ

[Machine] "Do not compel your daughters to engage in prostitution, if they desire chastity, seeking the pleasures of worldly life. And whoever compels them, then indeed Allah, after their compulsion, is Forgiving and Merciful."

{وَلاَ تُكْرِهُوا فَتَيَاتِكُمْ عَلَى الْبِغَاءِ إِنْ أَرَدْنَ تَحَصُّنًا لِتَبْتَغُوا عَرَضَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَمَنْ يُكْرِهْهُنَّ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ مِنْ بَعْدِ إِكْرَاهِهِنَّ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ}.

That her father gave her in marriage when she was a matron and she disliked that marriage. So she came and (complained) to the Prophets and he declared that marriage invalid. (See Hadith No. 69, Vol. 7)  

البخاري:٦٩٤٥ – حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ قَزَعَةَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَمُجَمِّعٍ ابْنَىْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَارِيَةَ الأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنْ خَنْسَاءَ بِنْتِ خِذَامٍ الأَنْصَارِيَّةِ

أَنَّ أَبَاهَا زَوَّجَهَا وَهْىَ ثَيِّبٌ فَكَرِهَتْ ذَلِكَ فَأَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَرَدَّ نِكَاحَهَا

I asked the Prophet, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! 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."  

البخاري:٦٩٤٦ – حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرٍو هُوَ ذَكْوَانُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ قَالَتْ

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يُسْتَأْمَرُ النِّسَاءُ فِي أَبْضَاعِهِنَّ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّ الْبِكْرَ تُسْتَأْمَرُ فَتَسْتَحِي فَتَسْكُتُ قَالَ سُكَاتُهَا إِذْنُهَا
