Question:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Assalamu Alaikum, <\/span>I have been married for 18 years Alhamdulillah my wife was married before and had a daughter from her first marriage, she is 19 now and was 1 when I married my wife. It’s time for her to get married now, do I have to inform her real father of her marriage and get his permission or can I give her permission for the nikah. There has been no contact with him since separation and my stepdaughter does not even that I am not her real father my wife has not told her please advise.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Answer<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

According to the Hanafi Fiqh, the nikah of a sane, mature, free woman is valid without the permission of her wali. [1]<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Although it is not advisable for a woman to marry without the consent of her wali, permission of the wali is not a condition for the validity of the marriage. Therefore, the nikah of your stepdaughter will be valid irrespective of whether or not her biological father is informed.<\/span><\/p>\n
