Arabic text

1872 - حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ الْكِنْدِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الثَّيِّبُ تُعْرِبُ عَنْ نَفْسِهَا، وَالْبِكْرُ رِضَاهَا صَمْتُهَا»

Commentary

The woman is not allowed to conduct her marriage herself. Her marriage will be conducted by her guardian; however, her opinion will also be given importance. The marriage bond takes place with the consent of both.
