Narrated Abu Hurairah (RA): Allah’s Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: “A previously married woman must not be married till she is consulted, and a virgin must not be married till her consent is asked.” They asked, “O Allah’s Messenger, how is her consent indicated?” He replied, “It is by her silence.” [Agreed upon].
