Is the marriage contract of an insane woman valid if she is one whom a sane woman could be legally compelled to marry?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Marriage
Primary text
The marriage of an insane woman is permissible if she is of a class that could be legally compelled to marry if she were sane. This is because the guardian's authority to compel marriage is established when she is sane and refuses; therefore, that authority is even more valid when she lacks sanity.
