Is it permissible for the guardian of a virgin to solemnize her marriage contract if she and her guardian have agreed to the marriage, but she then refused to set a date for the contract and wished to postpone it to include some of her family members?

The jurisprudential disagreement regarding the necessity of a virgin's permission does not apply to this case, because the girl has shown a clear intention to delay the marriage contract, which might mean her fundamental rejection of the marriage. This differs from the case discussed by jurists, where no rejection was shown by the woman. Therefore, it is not permissible for the guardian to عقد (conclude the marriage contract) for the girl without her permission, lest her right to choose her husband be confiscated.
