According to the Islamic Law, women cannot be forced to marry anyone if they object. As it is attributed to Muhammad:[21]



Ibni `Abbaas reported that a girl came to the Messenger of God, Muhammad (sws), and she reported that her father had forced her to marry without her consent. The Messenger of God gave her the choice [between accepting the marriage or invalidating it]. Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal 2469

...the girl said: "Actually I accept this marriage but I wanted to let women know that parents have no right [to force a husband on them]". Sunan Ibn Maja 1873
