Answer Details
The principle of Ijbār allows a father or guardian to give out his daughter or ward in marriage without her consent as long as she has reached the age of maturity. This means that the girl is legally capable of making decisions for herself and is not considered a minor. The father or guardian must ensure that the girl's interests are protected and that the groom is a suitable match. The principle of Ijbār does not require the mother to be informed, nor does it have any conditions related to the physical disability of the groom.
