Is a girl's refusal of her paternal cousin, who defrauded her and usurped her right to accept her life partner, considered an objection to Allah's divine decree and destiny?
Your cousin has wronged you in several ways: - He and his father took your father's inheritance without your consent, which is not permissible according to . - He detained you, deprived you of food and drink, and threatened you, which is a grave injustice. - He bribed the marriage officiant (ma'dhun), and bribery is forbidden, and its perpetrator is accursed. - He completed the marriage contract without your consent, and the validity of such a contract is a matter of scholarly disagreement.
Regarding your rejection of him and your dislike of marrying him, this is not an objection to Allah's decree. The wise Sharia has granted a girl the right to accept or refuse, and it has commanded that her permission be sought.
