Is a girl considered disobedient to her father for marrying without his knowledge, despite her repeated attempts to appease him and his complete rejection of her after the marriage?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A woman's marriage without the permission of her guardian is an act of disobedience to Allah and a transgression against the command of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. Therefore, her marriage is invalid. The girl should have considered the reasons for her father's refusal; if they were acceptable, she should have obeyed him, and if not, she should have referred her case to the judiciary. Now, this marriage must be annulled because it was conducted without a guardian.
