Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Qasim
from his father that A'isha, umm al-muminin, proposed to Qurayba bint
Abi Umayya on behalf of Abd ar-Rahman ibn Abi Bakr. They married her
to him and her people found fault with Abd ar-Rahman and said, "We
only gave in marriage because of A'isha." A'isha therefore sent for
Abd ar-Rahman and told him about it. He gave Qurayba authority over
herself and she chose her husband and so there was no divorce.
Muwatta Malik Book 29, Hadith 14

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Qasim
from his father that a man of Thaqif gave his wife command over
herself, and she said, "You are divorced." He was silent. She said,
"You are divorced." He said, "May a stone be in your mouth." She said,
"You are divorced." He said, "May a stone be in your mouth." They
argued and went to Marwan ibn al-Hakam. He took an oath that he had
only given her control over one pronouncement, and then she returned
to him.
Malik said that Abd ar-Rahman declared that this
decision had amazed al-Qasim, who thought it the best that he had
heard on the subject.
Malik added, "That is also the best of
what I have heard on the subject." Muwatta Malik Book 29, Hadith 13

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Qasim
from his father that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, gave Hafsa bint Abd arRahman in marriage to
al-Mundhir ibn az-Zubayr while Abd ar-Rahman was away in Syria. When
Abd ar-Rahman arrived, he said, "Shall someone like me have this done
to him? Am I the kind of man to have something done to him without his
consent?" A'isha spoke to al-Mundhir ibn az-Zubayr, and al-Mundhir
said, "It is in the hands of Abd ar-Rahman." Abd ar-Rahman said, "I
won't oppose something that you have already completed." Hafsa was
confirmed with al-Mundhir, and there was no divorce. Muwatta Malik Book 29, Hadith 15
