[quote]THese are some hadith from Sahih Bukhari:

Volume 9, Book 85, Number 78:

Narrated Khansa' bint Khidam Al-Ansariya:

That her father gave her in marriage when she was a matron and she disliked that marriage. So she came and (complained) to the Prophets and he declared that marriage invalid. (See Hadith No. 69, Vol. 7)

Volume 9, Book 85, Number 79:

Narrated 'Aisha:

I asked the Prophet, "O Allah's Apostle! Should the women be asked for their consent to their marriage?" He said, "Yes." I said, "A virgin, if asked, feels shy and keeps quiet." He said, "Her silence means her consent."

.....

It is clear from these that the parents cannot force their child into marrying someone they like and their child does not like.

God does not order us to blindly obey our parents. Never does He say anywhere in the Quran to blindly say yes to your parents, no matter what they ask for. Ordering us to be kind to parents and to say nice words to them; it does not mean you have to 100% obey them all the time. You can respectfully decline them if you don't approve of something they ask of. The condition is to be always nice to them and treat them kindly.[/quote]
