The answer

If a brother reaches puberty, he becomes eligible to act as the guardian (wali) for his sister's marriage. Indeed, some scholars have even gone further, asserting the validity of marriage performed by a discerning child, even if he has not reached puberty. It is narrated from Ahmad that if a child reaches ten years of age, he can arrange marriages and be married himself.
