Misremarriage is valid if it fulfills its pillars and conditions. Bribery, as defined by Ibn Hazm, is what a person gives to have a false judgment rendered in his favor or to wrong someone. However, what is given to obtain a right or to repel injustice is not prohibited bribery; rather, it is permissible for the giver. But if it is given to repel a right or to obtain something false, then it is prohibited bribery.
