The Ruling on a Woman Marrying Herself

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh, this is a sister asking: Is it permissible for a woman to marry without her guardian, especially if she is not from the people of the country?

Answer:
It is not permissible for a woman to marry herself; the guardian is necessary, either from her 'asabah (residuary male heirs), and if she has no 'asabah, the judge takes charge of the contract for her. Yes.
