What is the ruling regarding a man who marries without the knowledge of his parents?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A man's marriage is valid without informing his parents if he is of sound mind. However, if he is not of sound mind, then only his father or guardian, or the ruler if he shows desire for women, may marry him off. It is recommended to inform one's parents about marriage, as it is an act of filial piety.
