Force marriage meanswhen one or both partners are not able to enter into a marriage freely, because they are being pressured or forced, or threatened with violence. It most frequently affects girls and young women People consider a forced marriage between social groups or families as a way of consolidating In some cases, the promise of marriage is acquired at birth or during a girl’s childhood It badly effect the entire life of girls. Forced marriage and Sunnah of Holy Prophet (SAWW) “A previously married woman must not be given in marriage until she is consulted, and a virgin must not be given in marriage until her permission is sought.” We said, “O Messenger of Allah, how her permission [to be given?” He replied, “By her silence.” [al-Bukhārī: 5136, Muslim: 1419] He also said: “A [virgin orphan girl should be consulted about [her marriage; if she remains silent, this is her permission, but if she refuses, there is no forcing her.” [Abū Dāwood: 2093] Furthermore, the actions of the Prophet Muhammad (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) serve to emphasize this ruling, as reported by Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him): “A young virgin woman came to the Prophet (may the peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) and mentioned that her father had given her in marriage against her will, so the Prophet (may the peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) allowed her to exercise her choice.” [Abū Dāwood: 2096, Ibn Mājah: 1875] In another narration, al-Qāsim narrated: “A woman from the offspring of Ja‘far was afraid lest her guardian give her in marriage against her will, so she sent for two elderly men from the Anṣār [i.e., the companions of the Prophet], ‘Abdur-Raḥmān and Mujammi‘, the two sons of Jāriyah. They said to her, ‘Don’t be afraid, for Khansā’ bint Khidhā*+98m was given by her father in marriage against her will, then the Prophet (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) cancelled it.” [al-Bukhārī: 6969] From the proofs mentioned above, we see that the Qur’an and the statements of the Prophet Muhammad (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) clearly prohibit forced marriage, and that the judgements of the Prophet (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) serve as a practical implementation of these rulings which Muslims are obliged to follow. The scholars of Islam even differed over whether a woman has the choice to remain with her husband that she was forced to marry, with many of them saying that the marriage must be annulled and that should she wish to stay with him, the marriage contract must be carried out again with her express permission.

Parents and our society If a girl told her parents that she like someone and she wanted to marry this guy. The parents dont accept her and said that,you are unshamed. parents and society both dont accept this marrige. The society accept this girl who marry according to their parents but talk with others boys and doesnot accept this girl who marry and make a halal ralatioship with one who wanted. This the curse of society.
