Muslims! Give your women their own choice in marriage.

[benmaarof]

Muslim women have complete rights to their marriage choices.

Quran 4:19 O ye who believe! Ye are forbidden to inherit women against their will. Nor should ye treat them with harshness, that ye may Take away part of the dower ye have given them,-except where they have been guilty of open lewdness; on the contrary live with them on a footing of kindness and equity. If ye take a dislike to them it may be that ye dislike a thing, and God brings about through it a great deal of good.

Hadith Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 62, Number 67:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "A matron should not be given in marriage except after consulting her; and a virgin should not be given in marriage except after her permission." The people asked, "O God's Apostle! How can we know her permission?" He said, "Her silence (indicates her permission)."

(If the virgin objects, she would vocalise it)

Hadith Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 62, Number 68:
Narrated 'Aisha:
I said, "O God's Apostle! A virgin feels shy." He said, "Her consent is (expressed by) her silence."

Hadith Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 62, Number 69:
Narrated Khansa bint Khidam Al-Ansariya:
That her father gave her in marriage when she was a matron and she disliked that marriage. So she went to God's Apostle and he declared that marriage invalid.

A man that forces a woman (even her father) to marry someone that she does not desire is (according to the Quran and Hadith) is disobeying God and His Messenger!!!

You expect adherants to actually submit to their God's decrees, other than when it is convenient?


A rather tall order for modern religion.

A lot of people do. Nobody forces them to, but they submitted anyway.
