حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ كَهْمَسِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : جَاءَتْ فَتَاةٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَتْ : " إِنَّ أَبِي زَوَّجَنِي ابْنَ أَخِيهِ لِيَرْفَعَ بِي خَسِيسَتَهُ ، قَالَ : فَجَعَلَ الْأَمْرَ إِلَيْهَا ، فَقَالَتْ : قَدْ أَجَزْتُ مَا صَنَعَ أَبِي ، وَلَكِنْ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ تَعْلَمَ النِّسَاءُ ، أَنْ لَيْسَ إِلَى الْآبَاءِ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ شَيْءٌ " .
´It was narrated from Ibn Buraidah that:` his father said: “A girl came to the Prophet and said: 'My father married me to his brother's son so that he might raise his status thereby.' The Prophet gave her the choice, and she said: 'I approve of what my father did, but I wanted women to know that their fathers have no right to do that.' ”
Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊
“So that his status may be elevated through me”—this could mean that my father is needy and his nephew is well-off; he wishes that, due to this relationship, he too may gain financial benefits.
And it could also mean that the nephew is needy, and my father wants to elevate his status by giving him my hand in marriage, so that people may respect him, thinking that he is the son-in-law of such-and-such person.
➋
Parents are also not permitted to forcibly marry off a girl to someone she does not like, without her consent.
➌
In such a situation, the girl is permitted to have the marriage annulled.
