The answer

Most scholars are of the opinion that the guardian (wali) is a condition for the validity of the marriage, so a woman is not permitted to marry herself off. If you wish to renew the contract, your guardian must be informed and he must perform the contract or delegate someone else. Your guardian does not have the right to prevent you from renewing the contract if the husband is suitable for you. In the event that he prevents it, the guardianship transfers to another guardian, or to the judiciary, as Ibn Qudamah stated.
