The father does not have the right to postpone his daughter's marriage without a legitimate, recognized reason. If he insists on his opinion and the husband insists on completing the marriage at the agreed time and has paid the dowry, then the wife must surrender herself to him. If the father is obstinate, the matter may be brought before the Sharia judge. It is recommended to pray to Allah to facilitate the matter.
