What is the ruling on parents forcing their child to get married? and what should one do in such circumstances?Answer
Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,
It is a condition for the validity of marriage that the girl or boy consent to the marriage.
It is not wrong to insist on a partner who is religious, suitable, and compatible.
However, one must do so with the respect and reverence due to parents.
For details browse the marriage section as www.sunnipath.com in Hanafi fiqh.
See attached answer(s).
Wassalam,
Faraz Rabbani
