Hadith 1419 Part A

setting

Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as having said

A woman without a husband (or divorced or a widow) must not be married until she is consulted, and a virgin must not be married until her permission is sought. They asked the Prophet of Allah (ﷺ): How her (virgin's) consent can be solicited? He (the Holy Prophet) said: That she keeps silence.
