Mawla Aisha narrates from Zakwan, Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: I asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) whether a girl whose family arranges her marriage should be consulted or not? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: She must absolutely be consulted. I said: She remains silent out of shyness. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Her silence is her permission.
