Who Has the Right to Dissolve the Engagement?
Alsalamo Alaykum. I would like to know: My parents and I sat down with a girl whom i love and her parents, and my dad ask for the girl's hand in marriage to me and her dad agreed. we then discussed the Mahr & Shabka and Mo2a'7ar and when Katb el Ketab will be. My question is this: Now, no one is allowed to ask for her hand in marriage since she is considered engaged to me, right? How about breaking off the engagement, can her parents or my parents do it without my or her consent? or to break off the engagement it must be MY or HER decision?? THank you for your time :)
