Islam does not consider Woman as an instrument of the devil as considered by the Bible. But rather the Qur an calls her Mohsana - a fortress against Satan, because a good woman by marrying a man helps him keep a straight path in life. Whether you marry once or twice you are yet fulfilling only half your deen. According to Islam marriage is a blessing and bounty on both men and women. The Qur an refers to marriage as a Misaq that is a sacred covenant or agreement between husband and wife.
Islamic law requires the consent of both the parties before marriage.
In matters related to marriage a woman cannot be forced by anyone including her father. Parents can help and advise the daughter on marriage but cannot impose or force his will. Woman in Islam is considered to be a home-maker and not a housewife because she is not married to the house. The rights of husband and wife are equal in all respects except in the aspect of leadership in the family. And women shall have rights similar to the rights against them, according to what is equitable but men have a degree of advantage over them.
