Sunan Abi Dawud 2094 (Book 12, Hadith 49) #22385
Virgin's Silence as Acceptance of Marriage

SUMMARY: A virgin's silence is her acceptance of marriage.

The aforesaid tradition has also been transmitted through a different chain of narrators by Muhammad bin 'Amr. This version adds "If she weeps or keeps silence". The narrator added the word "weeps". Abu Dawud said: The word "weeps" is not guarded. This is a misunderstanding of the tradition on the part of the narrator Ibn Idris or Muhammad b. al-'Ata. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has also been narrated by Abu 'Amr Dhakwan on the authority of 'Aishah who said: A virgin is ashamed of speaking, Messenger of Allah. He said: Her silence is her acceptance.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ زَادَ فِيهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَإِنْ بَكَتْ أَوْ سَكَتَتْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ زَادَ ‏"‏ بَكَتْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَلَيْسَ ‏"‏ بَكَتْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ بِمَحْفُوظٍ وَهُوَ وَهَمٌ فِي الْحَدِيثِ الْوَهَمُ مِنِ ابْنِ إِدْرِيسَ أَوْ مِنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْعَلاَءِ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَرَوَاهُ أَبُو عَمْرٍو ذَكْوَانُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الْبِكْرَ تَسْتَحِي أَنْ تَتَكَلَّمَ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ سُكَاتُهَا إِقْرَارُهَا

QUICK LESSONS:
Respect other people's feelings when making decisions or proposing something; understand non-verbal communication; think before speaking or acting on something; show kindness towards others in all situations; take time to consider your options before responding or accepting something; listen carefully before responding or accepting something; think twice before rejecting someone’s proposal without considering their feelings first .
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the marriage of a virgin woman. It states that if a woman is asked for her hand in marriage and she remains silent then it should be taken as her acceptance of the proposal. This means that if a man proposes to a woman and she does not reject him then it should be taken as her agreement to marry him. The hadith also teaches us that we should respect the feelings of others and not pressure them into making decisions they are not comfortable with. We should also remember that silence can sometimes speak louder than words and can be used to convey our feelings without having to say anything at all.
