Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 16730 — A man who marries off his daughter

Ata said: If the father of a virgin girl wants to marry her to someone and she wishes to marry someone else, the father should respect his daughter's wish if there is no harm in that man, even if the match of the father's choice offers a larger dowry; I fear that (otherwise) it will weigh on her heart. And if the girl's father compels her, he may do so.
