A question regarding the permissibility of marrying a virgin girl who is engaged and previously divorced, and whether her father's permission is required.
[AR_ID:621]
Peace be upon you. Regarding your question, according to Sayyid Sistani and Sayyid Khamenei: simply marrying her and contracting does not lift the rulings of virginity unless there has been consummation. The rulings for a virgin girl are as follows: Sayyid Sistani states that it is required for a Muslim or a woman of the Book to have the consent of her father or paternal grandfather if she is not independent in her affairs. It is strongly recommended to obtain the consent of one of them if she is independent. Source: [Official Site](https://www.sistani.com/arabic/qa/22184/). Sayyid Khamenei emphasizes that it is obligatory to seek permission from her father or paternal grandfather, and the contract is not valid without the permission of one of them.
