Marriage without Mother’s Permission

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askmufti.co.za

Q: I am 25 years old and in love with a girl. Her father is dead. Her mother is not ready to accept me. She lives with her mother and a sister and her mother’s brother. They are not in contact with their father’s side. I want to do make Nikah (marriage) with her. Can I make my friend her wali (guardian) and marry her in presence of an Aalim and two witnesses?

A: The marriage will be valid (according to the Hanafi Madhab but not according to the Shaafi’ee Madhab) but it is morally necessary to secure her mothers permission. Marriage without her permission will cause this marriage to be without blessings. Do not become a cause of hurting the feelings of her mother who sacrificed so much for her in bringing her up and rearing her. First win over the heart of the mother.

May Allah Ta’aala make it easy for you, Aameen.

I have been married for seven years. Three kids now. But we have always had problems and they get worse.  We don’t communicate at all-just the necessary  stuff.  My husband is manipulative and I used to succumb but now I have started resisting.  He wants me to fail in my endeavors. He insults me at the slightest opportunity-says I am not mar’atussaliha (a pious woman).  We disagree about many important things. He never agrees to learning or trying to change things or going for counseling.  He does not want to try.  Many times I feel like leaving him but my only concern is how my kids will fare.  Do I have the right to keep them even if I do female divorce-Khula? The oldest is six.
