The answer

The guardian is a condition for the validity of marriage. It is not permissible for a more distant guardian, such as the brother, to undertake the marriage contract when a closer guardian, such as the father, is present, unless the father withholds consent (adhl). Even in this case, the brother is not permitted to marry off the girl without her permission. Based on this, this marriage is invalid due to the absence of one of its conditions, and the matter must be referred to the judge for annulment. The woman should be advised, and the sanctity of cutting ties between her and her sisters, the prohibition of slandering, and the necessity of repentance should be clarified to her.
