In this verse, God addressed the guardians, saying: {Then do not prevent them from marrying their husbands} [Al-Baqarah: 232]. This verse indicates that the authority in marriage rests with the guardians, with the consent of the women.

3224 - Qutaybah narrated to us, from Malik ibn Anas (H)
And Al-Ansari narrated to us, saying: Ma'n narrated to us, saying: Malik narrated to us, from Zayd ibn Aslam, from Al-Qa'qa' ibn Hakim, from Abu Yunus, the freed slave of 'A'ishah, who said:
