♣ We were with the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam while we were young and had no wealth whatever. So Allah’s Apostle Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, “O young people! Whoever among you can marry, should marry, because it helps him lower his gaze and guard his modesty (i.e. his private parts from committing illegal sexual intercourse etc.), and whoever is not able to marry, should fast, as fasting diminishes his sexual power.”

Narrated by Abdullah RadhiAllahu Anhu

Sahih Bukhari Book 62, Hadith 4

♣ Hazrath Aishah RadhiAllahu Anha asked Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam : “ if women must be asked for their permission of marriage.” Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam replied, "Yes.” She said, “The virgin is asked for her permission but she gets shy. Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, "Her silence is her permission.”
