The answer

A divorced woman, like other women, cannot marry without a guardian according to the majority of jurists, based on the : "There is no marriage without a guardian." The priority of guardianship begins with the father, then the paternal grandfather, then the son, then the brothers, then the paternal uncles. If the closest guardian refuses to marry her off, it is permissible for the next in line among the guardians to marry her off, or the matter can be referred to a judge to marry her. Publicizing the marriage is not a condition for the validity of the contract; the presence of two witnesses is sufficient. Documenting the contract in courts is necessary to protect rights.
