The adult woman, virgin or previously


A: First, it is Haram (prohibited) to force a daughter to marry a person whom she does not approve of, for the Prophet (peace be upon him) prohibited to give a virgin in marriage except after taking her permission. Second, if your intention was to swear to divorce your wife, you should make Kaffarah (expiation) for the divorce oath that you took to force your daughter to marry this man. This Kaffarah is either to feed ten needy persons (Part No. 18; Page No. 134) half a Sa` (1 Sa`=3 kg. Approx.), per person, of local staple foodstuff, to clothe ten needy persons, or to emancipate a believing slave. If you are unable to do any of these, you should observe Sawm (Fast) for three days. However, if your intention was to divorce her, you should clarify your intention along with the words you said, so that we can investigate this matter and benefit you in sha'a Allah (if Allah wills). May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
