Really?
For a man to marry anyone:
She must have undergone puberty.
Must be mentally mature.
She must be consenting.
The pillars of marriage are three:
1. The couple must be free from any legal prevention to their being able to marry one another, like a close relationship or fosterage.
2. The woman must have the approval of her guardian.
3. There must be an offer and acceptance.
The conditions of marriage are four:
1. The presence of the couple
2. Their approval
3. The presence of the woman’s guardian
4. Two male, Muslim witnesses
And other rules such as Mahr (bridal gift)
