Sahih al-Bukhari 6710 (Book 90, Hadith 15)
should not be married till she is asked whether she agrees to marry or not.” It was asked, “O Allah’s
Apostle! How will she (the virgin) express her consent?” He said, “By keeping silent.” Some people
said that if a virgin is not asked for her consent and she is not married, and then a man, by playing a trick
presents two false witnesses that he has married her with her consent and the judge confirms his
marriage as a true one, and the husband knows that the witnesses were false ones, then there is no
harm for him to consummate his marriage with her and the marriage is regarded as valid.
