Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh

Hadith.3386 - It is narrated from Hammad, from Al-Halabi, from Abu Abdullah (as): Regarding a man to whom a woman entrusted her affairs-whether she was a relative or a neighbor-and he did not know her internal situation, and later discovered that she had concealed a defect: Imam (as) said: "The dowry is to be taken from her, and the man who married her is not held liable." He also said regarding a woman who entrusted her affairs to a man and said: "Marry me to so-and-so." The man replied: "I will not marry you until you testify that your affair is in my hands." She testified to this, and during the marriage contract, the man said to the suitor, "O so-and-so, upon you is such-and-such (as a condition)." The suitor replied: "Yes." The man then said to the witnesses, "Bear witness that this is due to her from me, and I have married her to myself." The woman then declared, "I never intended to marry you, nor do I accept such a marriage. My affair is in my own hands, and I only entrusted you out of modesty in speaking." Imam (as) said: "She is to be separated from him, and he is to be disciplined for his conduct."
