a woman isn't married against her will but a girl can be. Her father <BR>can
marry her off (doreitta) or her brother and/or mother (d'rabbanan). In <BR>the
latter case she can get out of it without a get, but married she most
<BR>certainly is. And this was done in Jewish communities all around the
world.<<<BR><BR>>>>>><BR>I had forgotten this. It's
strange that the halacha that a woman's consent must be obtained before marriage
is derived from Rivka -- "Nish'al es pi hana'arah" -- and she was only three
years old at the time! (at least according to
Rashi)<BR><BR></FONT></DIV></DIV>
