Question
If a boy and girl get married with two witnesses, is it valid by him asking and she agreeing to the marriage? Also what is the ruling on marrying a girl older than you by a few years?
Answer
On account of the many complications that go about in marriages today we insist that the marriage must be conducted with the consent of the parents.
It is permissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
