Second marriage and father permission

[Aaima zahid]

Asslamoalikum,
Greetings to all.
My cousin recently got divorced. And she wants to get married again but her father and step mother is not letting that happen.
So i want to know that when a girl have to marry first time she needs permission from her father and grandfather but for second married it’s not necessary she wants know Is it okay if she gets married even her father is not agree with the proposal she have... i mean she is afraid that her father will get angry maybe he never talk to her .. Maybe Allah will get angry but the proposal she have will give her chance to meet with her 5 years old daughter.

First its family matter so better they do decide by themselves.

Secondly she want to marry her old husband or another husband.

If she wants to marry her old husband. Then its very good thing amd parents must not interfere by keeping them separate
As in quran
وبعولتعن أحق بردهن في ذالك أن أرادوا إصلاحا baqrah 228
Means their ex husbands do have alot of rights than other persons to get remarried

So her father must let her go.

Second is hope her first husbadn not gave her three talaqs.

Third is yes she can go to get married without their permission.

If she marrying new person still she get married without their permissions.
But the new husband must have same status or higher than girl's family status

But its better to make them accept. Because how long girl will be on her father shoulders. And also one day they will die so who will care her. Also human have lust and lust is not bad thing. Bad thing is that fullfilling the lust by wrong methods like adultery.
So who will be responsible for that.

I advise that she must contact her father' brother uncle and mother'brothers etc to motivate the acceptance. If that new man is really such reliable as he showing or the old husband who showing such acts of relibility to get married again with that girl.

She is not marrying her old husband but new. Actually she don’t want to get married to a stranger this person she is marrying is a family relative. Her daughter is in custody of her father but not legally. Her father is not supporting her in her daughter matter as well in this marriage proposal. Because the boy is not financially strong.
And yes she have no brother uncle etc she is the only child.

Thats problem now.

Look if she did nikah without her parents permission it will be valid. Her status is not matching with boy status. Problem will occur when she do marriage and her father file a case to break a marriage because the boy is not in the same status with us. So judge will break the nikkah again and thus she gets the talaq again

That occurs i mean breakage of nikkah in those states only where islamic law is.

And from where that girl seem is western countries where this thing not occur

And another thing. Mostly girl have kid remarried but get broken again due to child from previous husband. Thats why shairah said that after remarrying the girl will be off from children's custody and will be in previous husband custody or husband father's custody

Also if she insists to keep. Good keep it uo but when girl gets in puberty she will give her back to husband's custody as he will be her supervisor and do things like keep her feed drink and make her marriage. Thats all in shariah process


Thats why allah never like talaq because of these thing in which husband, wife and children lives get ruined.....

JazakAllah khair brother! So should I recommend her to wait maybe she will get a more appropriate proposal in the future that will meet her status and also to let her daughter in the custody of her father and move on ?

May be. May be not.
Let her pray to get the best. If he is best then no one can stop if allah wants to give her the best.
If bad then its good that allah saved her from ill fate

Girl in her father custdoy is not good. Because sharia says first is mother of child before puberty after that grand parents means mother's parents

I am unfortunately not knowledgeable enough to give a good Hadith as a reference. Hopefully someone else from here can.
But I remember reading that after a divorce, children that have not reached puberty should be the in the custody of the mother After puberty, they should be in the custody of the same sex parent. (except in exceptional situation where it is not possible or not in the child's best interest).

So your cousin should be her daughter's guardian.


I do hope her life and that of her children gets better. She probably should talk with her parents to better understand her father's refusal. Parents want the best for their children. So there must be a reason why her father said he did not support her new marriage. She should take a moment and at least try to understand those reasons.

The thing is her father lives in Saudia Arabia and she lives in another country with us. Her step mother is looking for proposals but refusing all of them on minor issues. This situation is causing mental stress on her. She is scared to marry a stranger and her parents aren’t considering her perceptive.
May Allah help her. May both understand each other.

may Allah help her and her child.ameen

This is what you call 'between a rock and a hard place'; on the one hand she risks upsetting the father and estranging relations with him, on the other she risks missing chance to see her 5 year old daughter

InshAlllah you have enough advice above! :)

My dear sister I think your question consists of two perspectives, one is ruling of shariah in that case and the other is psycho-social part. For the ruling of shariah part, you have got enough good points from @فصيح الياسين above. From psycho-social point of view, what you need to do is just give her enough confidence, rest she will manage everything in a better way herself. I guess in societies where you live, such cases get complicated only because of social things which are mostly temporary and fades away with time.
May Allah SWT make things easy for her Ameen.
Stay blessed.
