The father's guardianship over a woman who abandons prayer in marriage

Question:
The questioner says: A woman's father does not pray. If she wants to get married, does he count as her guardian?

Answer:
This is a matter for the court to review. If her intention is that she does not pray with the congregation, or if her intention is that she does not pray at all, neither with the congregation nor alone, and if the latter is the case—that she never prays—then she is a disbeliever, and a disbeliever cannot be the guardian of a Muslim woman. However, the court should review the case.
