Narrated 'Aisha:
Allah's Apostle said, "It is essential to have the consent of a virgin (for the marriage). I said, "A vir –
gin 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 bring –
ing 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 wit –
nesses were false ones, he may consummate his marriage."
