Silence is Consent:-
This is a very famous saying of Muhammad regarding virgins of marriageable age:
Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 9.101 Narrated byAisha
Allah's Apostle said, "It is essential to have the consent of a virgin (for the marriage). I said, "A virgin feels shy." The Prophet; said, "Her silence means her consent." Some people said, "If a man falls in love with an orphan slave girl or a virgin and she refuses (him) and then he makes a trick by bringing two false witnesses to testify that he has married her, and then she attains the age of puberty and agrees to marry him and the judge accepts the false witness and the husband knows that the witnesses were false ones, he may consummate his marriage."
*** Not much comment is required about such DEPRAVED morality and logic.
Most important of all is the implication that if the female REFUSED to agree, then she should not be forced ***
Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 9.79 Narrated byAisha
I asked the Prophet, "O Allah's Apostle! Should the women be asked for their consent to their marriage?" He said, "Yes." I said, "A virgin, if asked, feels shy and keeps quiet." He said, "Her silence means her consent."
Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 7.68 Narrated byAisha
I said, "O Allah's Apostle! A virgin feels shy." He said, "Her consent is (expressed by) her silence."
Al-Muwatta Hadith Hadith 28.4
Asking Consent of Virgins and Women Previously Married for their Persons
Malik related to me from Abdullah ibn al-Fadl from Nafi ibn Jubayr ibn Mutim from Abdullah ibn Abbas that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "A woman who has been previously married is more entitled to her person than her guardian, and a virgin must be asked for her consent for herself, and her consent is her silence "
*** There are two corollaries to the above statement:
(A) That a virgin can refuse - by not being silent - and hence should not be forced into marriage. This of course is not followed by most of the so called 'Muslims'.
(B) The silence of the majority of the followers of Muhammad vis a vis acts of terror, incitement to hatred etc by a minority among them also means that they consent otherwise they should object vehemently ***
