world is not over populated maryam - God created it and provides for all of its inhabitants from the time it was created until it ends. I know many who didn't want kids but accidents happened, yet there are others who want it and they can't have it. Every living and non-living thing that exists, only becuz Allah wants it to exist - you and I have no control on it.

Ofcourse, Nikah doesn't even occur without girls consent to the contract. That's not what I meant in my previous post. it means if parents (wali) of the girl marry their daughter to someone and girl doesn't object to it or refuse to accept that person as her life partner, Nikah is still valid. If however, she refuses, nikah stands invalid.
In paki culture, girls are given in nikah to men whom they may not like / love but they don't present their dissent before aqad. Many people have taken advantage of this practice to the point of criminality.
On the other hand, there are those untamed proponents of liberty who have taken it to other extreme - girls having no regard for parental approval or disapproval of their choices.

Month of Taqwa: we may attain taqwa in this month. Month of Guidance: we may receive guidance for which taqwa is a pre-requisite. Month of Quran: we may receive Quran in our hearts - source of guidance.

Still it doesn't make it required bcuz, there isn't a command or order in Quran or hadeeth to support that view. When you say something is required, it means in absence of which a Nikah wld be invalid and a marriage wld be null and void - in other words, such communion would be rendered haram.
