1878. It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that when 'Uthmân bin Maz'un died, he left behind a daughter. Ibn 'Umar said: "My maternal uncle Qudâmah, who was her paternal uncle, married me to her, but he did not consult her. That was after her father had died. She did not like this marriage, and the girl wanted to marry Mughirah' bin Shu'bah, so she married him." (Sahih)

Commentary
a. The compiler indicated by classifying the title of this chapter that a father is allowed to conduct the marriage of his daughter, without her consent, who is not yet adult; any other guardian like maternal or paternal uncle etc., cannot do so.
b. In case of her being adult, her consent is compulsory; because the first marriage took place without her consent being sought, therefore, it was dissolved. Apparently, it looks as if she was adult when her first marriage took place.
