How is a woman's marriage contracted according to her condition? This article follows the fiqh compendium pages on the wilaya of compulsion, that is, a marriage concluded for a woman without her consent: the minor (saghira), when the minor's consummation becomes permitted, the ijbar exercised by the father or by another wali (marriage guardian), the option of annulment at puberty (khiyar al-bulugh), the adult virgin (bikr), the previously married woman (thayyib), the virgin whose virginity has disappeared, how consent is given, and the guardian's obstruction ('adl).
