should not be given in marriage until her permission is granted.” The people said, “How will she
express her permission?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “By keeping silent (when asked her consent).” Some
people said, “If a man, by playing a trick, presents two false witnesses before the judge to testify that
he has married a matron with her consent and the judge confirms his marriage, and the husband is sure
that he has never married her (before), then such a marriage will be considered as a legal one and he
may live with her as husband.”
