Is a girl's marriage without a guardian valid on the grounds that it is the madhhab of Imam Abu Hanifa? And is this girl deserving of kinship ties (silat al-rahim) despite her husband's insult to her family and his causing her father's illness and death? And are her brothers required to maintain kinship ties with her despite their psychological inability to do so?
