Is it permissible to marry a person who is suitable and desired by the girl, while her father rejects him for flimsy reasons and does not listen to anyone's advice?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is impermissible for the woman's guardian to prevent her from marrying a man who is suitable in terms of religious commitment and character. If he does so, he is deemed to be a 'adil (one who unjustly prevents marriage), and his guardianship is forfeited. It is advisable to involve influential people to persuade the guardian; otherwise, the woman may refer the matter to the judiciary.
