@sadaf_0

what if her parents have chosen someone else for her but she is interested in another guy? what should be har preference then?

She has the right to pick the guy she wants (Islamically it’s also her right but there are the obvious conditions.. is Muslim, of ‘good’ character etc).. Her parents don’t have the right to impose their choice on her and if the nikah is done against her will it is invalid.

@sadaf_0

but sometimes the girls is blackmailed emotionally or is convinced in a way that she agrees to marry a man she doesn’t like or feels unfit for her otherwise. or for the sake of her parents dignity and respect she agrees. will the Nikah be valid in such situation?

In this case she really needs to make it clear she does not want the guy, going along with it and not really resisting or speaking out will mean she has ‘agreed’ (silence is taken as a ‘yes’ at the time of nikah).. For the nikah to not be valid she needs to make it clear she isn’t happy with the situation, say it is being done against her will or she has been coerced or emotionally blackmailed into it.. Easier said than done but she needs to tell her parents bluntly she does not want him..
