Narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When a woman marries without the permission of her guardian, her marriage is invalid, her marriage is invalid, her marriage is invalid. If the man has had intercourse with the woman, then due to that intercourse, he must give her the dowry. If they fall into dispute, then whoever has no guardian, the Sultan will be her guardian. Ibn Jurayj says: I met Imam Zuhri and asked him about this hadith, but he did not recognize this hadith. He said: And Sulaiman bin Musa, then he praised him. Abdullah says: My father, Imam Ahmad, said: By Sultan is meant the judge, because matters and rulings related to protection (of honor) are only presented in the court of the judge.
