What should I do, given that my family forced me into marriage and divorce, and they will repeat their actions with me?
If a girl is forced to marry someone she does not desire, this is not permissible for her guardians, due to the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "A woman who has been previously married has more right to herself than her guardian," and his saying: "A previously married woman should not be married until she is consulted, and a virgin should not be married until her permission is sought." She has the right to refuse this marriage and to seek a divorce, as in the hadith of a young woman who disliked her father's marriage arrangement for her, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave her the choice.
