Abstract
Islam is the religion of nature and it guides its followers in
the human natural affairs in the best way. One of these affairs
is the marital life, which is the biological requirement of
human nature and a good source from Allah Almighty for the
continuation of human generation. Nikah is the everlasting
relationship between husband and wife for the whole life.
Therefore in Islam according to Shariha Principles the mutual
consent of both (husband and wife) is necessary. And the
guardian is bound to know the consent of woman about her
Nikah. Since the dark age and even now in this modern time
the Nikah of a woman is done with a person about whom she
has no knowledge or she is forced to do so, which is not only
repugnant to Shariha and natural requirements but also
causes different problems in marital life. This has adverse
effects on family and on whole society. In this article it has
been substantiated that Islamic teachings have forbidden the
forced Nikah of a woman and has emphasized to know the
consent of a woman so that the marital life may be pleasant.
And if any Nikah is been done without a woman’s consent, she
has the right to abolish it.
