The answer

The woman's guardian (wali) in marriage is her father, then her paternal grandfather, then her son, then her full brother, then her half-brother (from the father's side), then their sons (nephews), then the paternal uncles. The mother or other relatives have no right to object to the father's guardianship in marrying off his daughter. If one of the guardians other than the father marries her off, there is a difference of opinion among scholars regarding the validity of her marriage. Al-Mardawi is of the view that it is not valid.
