1874. It was narrated from Ibn Buraidah that his father said: "A girl came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'My father married me to his brother's son so that he might raise his status thereby.' The Prophet ﷺ gave her the choice, and she said: 'I approve of what my father did, but I wanted women to know that their fathers have no right to do that.'"(Sahih)
1874 - حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ كَهْمَسِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: جَاءَتْ فَتَاةٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَتْ: " إِنَّ أَبِي زَوَّجَنِي ابْنَ أَخِيهِ، لِيَرْفَعَ بِي خَسِيسَتَهُ، قَالَ: فَجَعَلَ الْأَمْرَ إِلَيْهَا، فَقَالَتْ: قَدْ أَجَزْتُ مَا صَنَعَ أَبِي، وَلَكِنْ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ تَعْلَمَ النِّسَاءُ أَنْ لَيْسَ إِلَى الْآبَاءِ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ شَيْءٌ "

'So that he might raise his status thereby'; this phrase gives two meanings: My father is poor and his nephew is well-off, so he wants to gain financial benefit because of this relation; and another possible meaning is that his nephew is poor and my father wants to elevate his status with the relation of my marriage.
