Abu Amr Dhakwan reports: Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) inquired about a virgin girl who receives a marriage proposal. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: Women should be consulted regarding their marriage. Sayyida Aisha said: O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon you)! A virgin girl feels shy and remains silent (so what is the ruling in this case)? The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: Her silence is her consent.
