The ruling on a woman marrying herself if her guardian refuses to marry her off

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh’s question. The question is the revelation, meaning if the students are with him. Yes. Because your voice is cutting out, O Awad. Hello. Yes, go ahead. I will tell you, please, Shaykh, I have a question, which is: if a girl marries and then gets divorced, is that okay? Yes. And of course, she wants to get married, and her family is resting, and she wants to cover herself with what is lawful. Is it permissible, Shaykh, for her to marry and take control of herself, and for the Shaykh to pray for her, or not support her, or is it not permissible? I just want to know. Thank you, thank you, O Awad. Welcome. Yes, yes.

Answer:
My brother, a woman does not marry herself; rather, her guardian marries her off. So if the closest of her guardians refuses to marry her off, the one further away from her kinship marries her off. If they all refuse, then she brings her matter to the judge, and he takes charge of the contract for her. Yes.
