    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 749/622/B=1432) The scholars of Fiqh have considered the account of kufu from the side of girl i.e. the boy whom the girl is marrying should be of the same kufu (status) or superior to the girl. But if the girl belongs to a Sayyid family then it shall not be lawful for her to marry a non-Sayyid boy without the permission of her guardian. And if she does so, her guardians shall have the right to terminate the nikah.
