4396 - وَ رَوَى دَاوُدُ بْنُ سِرْحَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: فِي رَجُلٍ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُزَوِّجَ أُخْتَهُ قَالَ "يُؤَامِرُهَا فَإِنْ سَكَتَتْ فَهُوَ إِقْرَارُهَا وَ إِنْ أَبَتْ لَمْ يُزَوِّجْهَا فَإِنْ قَالَتْ زَوِّجْنِي فُلاَناً فَلْيُزَوِّجْهَا مِمَّنْ تَرْضَى وَ اَلْيَتِيمَةُ فِي حَجْرِ اَلرَّجُلِ لاَ يُزَوِّجُهَا إِلاَّ مِمَّنْ تَرْضَى".

Hadith.4396 - It is narrated by Dawood ibn Sirhan from Abu Abdullah (as) that he said regarding a man who wishes to arrange the marriage of his sister: "He should consult her. If she remains silent, it is her consent, but if she refuses, he should not marry her off. If she says, 'Marry me to so-and-so,' then he should marry her to someone she approves of. As for an orphan girl under the care of a man, he should not marry her off except to someone she is pleased with."
