Is a girl's feeling intense lust from a young age and practicing masturbation at a very early age considered a trial from God? Is she sinful for refusing marriage and striving against herself? What is the ruling on her patience and struggle if she occasionally returns to the habit? Are subsequent misfortunes considered a trial or a punishment?

The default ruling for marriage is that it is recommended and religiously desirable. A girl should not abandon it unless there is a valid justification, especially if she has strong desires, for marriage is the best way to safeguard one's chastity and bring peace to the soul. If abstaining from marriage exposes her to the unlawful, then her refusal of it becomes unlawful. This is not from the permissible striving [against one's desires], but rather it is exposing oneself to temptation. Marriage becomes obligatory for anyone who fears falling into fornication, whether male or female, if they are able to afford it. A woman is like a man in the obligation of marriage. Citing predestination as an excuse for sins is a wrong approach, contrary to both religious law and reason. Sincere repentance erases what came before it.
