One of the shar’i conditions of marriage is the consent of the wife, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “A previously-married woman should not be married without consulting her and a virgin should not be married without asking her permission.” They said, “O Messenger of Allaah, how does she give her permission?” He said, “If she remains silent.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 4741; Muslim, 2543.

No one has the right to force a girl to marry anyone, but at the same time she does not have the right to get married without her guardian’s permission.

The presence of the guardian is an important condition for a marriage to be valid, but a girl should not be forced into marrying someone who she does not want to marry, and she is not regarded as disobeying her parents in this case. Shaykh al-Islam [Ibn Taymiyah] said: “The parents do not have the right to force their son to marry someone whom he does not want, and if he refuses he is not being disobedient, like eating something that he does not want.” Al-Ikhtiyaaraat, p. 344

In case of girl, if she is forced to marry then that marriage contract is invalid but if she chose to stay with her husband then that's her choice. This is was the view of all the scholars and the incident during the life of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) speaks itself: It was narrated from Khansa’ bint Khizaam al-Ansaariyyah that her father married her off when she had been previously married, and she did not like that. She went to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and he annulled the marriage. Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 4845 and it was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) that a virgin girl came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and told him that her father had married her off against her objections. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) gave her the choice. Narrated by Abu Dawood, 2096; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani.

More on this read this, Islam Question and Answer - She was forced to marry someone she did not want.

And Allah knows best

Wrong.

In Islam, a child must obey the orders of their parents (or guardians), if they are given to marriage by the father as is usual, as a child they cannot object.

They can however appeal when they become adult (reach puberty).

This is because in Islam, it is not considered that the child is allowed to manage their affairs.

According to the Shari’ah, if a girl is a minor (did not attain puberty), she may be given in marriage by her father. When she attains puberty, she has the right to maintain the marriage or discontinue the marriage. There is no age limit to be intimate with one’s wife even if she is a minor.

Even in a purely practical sense, to even speak of children appealing their marriage is godam stupid, as if children would be so mentally mature enough to consider the pro's and con's of their marriage to a person and rationally judge whether they should stay married or not.

In fact if flies against logic, if Islam wanted people to marry only on the basis of both consenting rational partners, they would not even allow child marriages in the first place.

Child marriage, by its very existance, means the child is not consenting, children are not mentally capable of making an informed rational choice on something as complex as a marriage.

No amount of backwards-bending logic justifies child marriages, you can try all you like, it is evil.
