1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from ‘Abd Allah ibn Muhammad ibn Ali ibn al-Hakam from Aban ‘Uthman fro al-Fadl ibn ‘Abd al-Malik who has said the following
“This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who arranges marriage for his son who is small. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not unlawful.’ I asked if divorce is permissible. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, it is not permissible.’ I asked, ‘Who must pay mahr (dower)?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘The father must pay mahr (dower) if he has taken responsibility for it; but if he has not taken the responsibility on himself then the boy must pay unless the boy has no assets, then still he is responsible even if he has not taken the responsibility.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘If a man arranges marriage for his son it is up to him but if he gives his daughter in marriage it is binding.’”
1- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُزَوِّجُ ابْنَهُ وَهُوَ صَغِيرٌ قَالَ لا بَأْسَ قُلْتُ يَجُوزُ طَلاقُ الأبِ قَالَ لا قُلْتُ عَلَى مَنِ الصَّدَاقُ قَالَ عَلَى الأبِ إِنْ كَانَ ضَمِنَهُ لَهُمْ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ ضَمِنَهُ فَهُوَ عَلَى الْغُلامِ إِلا أَنْ لا يَكُونَ لِلْغُلامِ مَالٌ فَهُوَ ضَامِنٌ لَهُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ ضَمِنَ وَقَالَ إِذَا زَوَّجَ الرَّجُلُ ابْنَهُ فَذَلِكَ إِلَى أَبِيهِ وَإِذَا زَوَّجَ الابْنَةَ جَازَ.
