Marriage proposal rejection.

Q; salam i read ur post regardin marriage i wantd to knw my marriage was fixed da guy n his dad agreed 4 it after 6 months they ll conduct da ceremony they promised in front of me my dad n my mom n my uncle n cousin now they r lyin n tryin to brk da promise n nt even botherin to inform us im really vry worried plz temme da hadiths n sunnah in tis situation

A; Al-Tirmidhi (1084) Classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi, that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “If one of you receives a marriage proposal (for his daughter or other female relative under his care) from one whose religious commitment and good character are pleasing to you, then give (your daughter or female relative) to him in marriage, for if you do not do that there will be turmoil in the land and a great deal of mischief.”

If you do decide to go ahead and marry this person, then try to convince their family, because the basic principle is that it is obligatory to obey one's parents if they forbid marriage to a certain person, because honoring ones parents is obligatory and marriage to a certain girl is not obligatory, and no exception is made concerning that except cases where a person fears they may fall into zina, if he thinks it most likely that not marrying a particular girl will lead to him committing haraam actions with her.

The family should not object to their son’s marriage if it is clear that he is attached to a particular girl, so long as the girl is suitable and righteous, because marriage is the best remedy for them, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There is nothing like marriage for two who love one another.” Narrated by Ibn Majaah (1847) and classed as saheeh by al-Buwaysiri and by al-Albaani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah (624).

If you find that you cant get anywhere I suggest you discuss this with your local Imam or Sheikh of your area.
I ask Allah to make it easy for you on your search for marrying a pious man.
And Allah knows best....
