Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to me, "You were shown to me twice (in my dream) before I married you. I saw
an angel carrying you in a silken piece of cloth, and I said to him, 'Uncover (her),' and behold, it was
you. I said (to myself), 'If this is from Allah, then it must happen.' Then you were shown to me, the
angel carrying you in a silken piece of cloth, and I said (to him), 'Uncover (her), and behold, it was
you. I said (to myself), 'If this is from Allah, then it must happen.' " - Hadith Al Bukhari 7012 (islam)

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: The marriage of a woman who marries without the consent of her guardians is void. (He said these words) three times. If there is cohabitation, she gets her dower for the intercourse her husband has had. If there is a dispute, the sultan (man in authority) is the guardian of one who has none.

Hadith Al Bukhari 5124 (en en2) Tutor and dowry (9) Her guardian should not make a promise (to somebody to get her married to him) without her knowledge
"Hint your intention of marrying' is made by
saying (to the widow) for example: "I want to marry, and I wish that Allah will make a righteous lady
available for me.' " Al-Qasim said: One may say to the widow: 'I hold all respect for you, and I am
interested in you; Allah will bring you much good, or something similar 'Ata said: One should hint his
intention, and should not declare it openly. One may say: 'I have some need. Have good tidings. Praise
be to Allah; you are fit to remarry.' She (the widow) may say in reply: I am listening to what you say,'
but she should not make a promise. Her guardian should not make a promise (to somebody to get her
married to him) without her knowledge. But if, while still in the Iddat period, she makes a promise to
marry somebody, and he ultimately marries her, they are not to be separated by divorce (i.e., the
marriage is valid). - Hadith Al Bukhari 5124 (islam)

While we were sitting in the company of the Prophet (ﷺ) a woman came to him and presented herself (for
marriage) to him. The Prophet (ﷺ) looked at her, lowering his eyes and raising them, but did not give a
reply. One of his companions said, "Marry her to me O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" The Prophet (ﷺ) asked (him),
"Have you got anything?" He said, "I have got nothing." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Not even an iron ring?"
He Sa`d, "Not even an iron ring, but I will tear my garment into two halves and give her one half and
keep the other half." The Prophet; said, "No. Do you know some of the Qur'an (by heart)?" He said,
"Yes." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Go, I have agreed to marry her to you with what you know of the Qur'an (as
her Mahr)." - Hadith Al Bukhari 5132 (islam)

Hadith Al Bukhari 5121 (en en2) Tutor and dowry (9) You don't even have an iron ring to give, but you can marry her for what you know of the Quran
A woman presented herself to the Prophet (for marriage). A man said to him, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! (If
you are not in need of her) marry her to me." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "What have you got?" The man said,
"I have nothing." The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to him), "Go and search for something) even if it were an iron
ring." The man went and returned saying, "No, I have not found anything, not even an iron ring; but
this is my (Izar) waist sheet, and half of it is for her." He had no Rida' (upper garment). The Prophet (ﷺ)
said, "What will she do with your waist sheet? If you wear it, she will have nothing over her; and if
she wears it, you will have nothing over you." So the man sat down and when he had sat a long time,
he got up (to leave). When the Prophet (ﷺ) saw him (leaving), he called him back, or the man was called
(for him), and he said to the man, "How much of the Qur'an do you know (by heart)?" The man
replied I know such Sura and such Sura (by heart)," naming the Suras The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I have
married her to you for what you know of the Qur'an ." - Hadith Al Bukhari 5121 (islam)
