Re: Getting married to someone you don't want to get married to!
From islamic pov your parents can never force you :) The Shariah view is that young adults are under no juristriction of guardianship once they are mature and sane :) Narrated ABdullauh ibn Abbas: A virigin came to the Prophet (pbuh) and mentioned that her father had maaried her against her will, so the Prophet (pbuh) allowed her to exercise her choice. (book 11, Number 2091- Sunan Abu Dawud)
I believe marriage without consent of both is not valid. Do not pin me on this though :D I m still doing research :)
ps are you coming to Holland brother Luc?
Nice 2 c u on here again! My mother isn't the type who will force me but I won't b allowed 2 marry who I want to either! So It'll b the case of 'I have found a rishta, what do u think? But that's not the way I want to do things. :(] You see my way of thinking is 2 'gorafied' for my family.
Insha'Allah I'm coming to Holland this year, :D] can't say exactly when but will let u know closer to time.
