Hadith 704
۞
Hadith.5664 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Abdul Aziz Al-Abdi, from Ubayd ibn Zurarah, from Abu Abdullah (as), who said regarding a man who marries his son to an orphan girl under his care while his son is of legal age and the orphan girl has not yet reached maturity:
"The marriage is valid for his son. However, if the son dies, her inheritance from him is withheld until she reaches maturity. Once she matures, she must swear by Allah (swt) that nothing motivated her to claim the inheritance except her acceptance of the marriage. Then, the inheritance and half of the dowry are given to her."
Imam (as) further said
"But if she dies before reaching maturity and before the husband dies, the husband does not inherit from her because she has the right to choose (whether to accept the marriage) upon reaching maturity, while he has no such right over her."

فِي اَلرَّجُلِ يُزَوِّجُ اِبْنَهُ يَتِيمَةً فِي حَجْرِهِ وَ اِبْنُهُ مُدْرِكٌ وَ اَلْيَتِيمَةُ غَيْرُ مُدْرِكَةٍ قَالَ "نِكَاحُهُ جَائِزٌ عَلَى اِبْنِهِ فَإِنْ مَاتَ عُزِلَ مِيرَاثُهَا مِنْهُ حَتَّى تُدْرِكَ فَإِذَا أَدْرَكَتْ حُلِّفَتْ بِاللَّهِ مَا دَعَاهَا إِلَى أَخْذِ اَلْمِيرَاثِ إِلاَّ رِضَاهَا بِالنِّكَاحِ ثُمَّ يُدْفَعُ إِلَيْهَا اَلْمِيرَاثُ وَ نِصْفُ اَلْمَهْرِ" قَالَ "فَإِنْ مَاتَتْ هِيَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُدْرِكَ وَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ اَلزَّوْجُ لَمْ يَرِثْهَا اَلزَّوْجُ لِأَنَّ لَهَا اَلْخِيَارَ عَلَيْهِ إِذَا أَدْرَكَتْ وَ لاَ خِيَارَ لَهُ عَلَيْهَا".
