Can a Hanafi sister marry without her parents consent?
Question
Can a Hanafi sister marry without her parents consent?
Answer
If a female has attained puberty, she will be regarded as an adult in Shariah and will be entitled to make her own decisions regarding her marriage and wealth.
As such, in principle she does not require the consent of her parents to marry. However, in view of marriage being a major step in her life, she should consult with them in choosing her partner.
Their love for her and experience in life will be of meaningful assistance and comfort for her.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
