What is the ruling on a girl marrying someone she loves, without her family's knowledge, after she was subjected to sexual abuse by her father and brothers and lost her virginity, and she believes that her father does not have the right of guardianship over her because of what he did?
We summarize our advice to you in the following points:
- Moving from your father's house to the house of a relative. If you fear harm from him, you can resort to the authorities.
- The father's transgression does not nullify his guardianship in marriage unless it pertains to a breach of trust.
- If the father is transgressive, he is not fit to arrange your marriage. In this case, the matter should be referred to the Shariah judge to marry you off or appoint someone to do so.
- It is impermissible to travel without a unless there is a necessity. In your case, the Shariah judge in your country can arrange your marriage, and then you can travel with your husband.
