Is it permissible for a girl to be her own guardian, or to appoint someone other than her family to complete her marriage contract, with her intention to remain in her parents' home to care for her elderly parents, provided that the consummation takes place in her future home, given her brothers' refusal of her suitor, her need to escape their constant pressure, and after seven years have passed in this situation?
You must repent from your forbidden practices with the girl and cut off your relationship with her. Her brothers are the oppressors by preventing her from lawful marriage, and it is not permissible for a girl to marry without her father. If the father is unable to conclude the marriage contract due to the stubbornness of his sons, he may appoint someone else, or the girl may refer her case to the judiciary.
