Transferring guardianship from a father who neglects financial maintenance

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a man does not spend on his daughter and does not fulfill her rights at all.

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
A man does not spend or provide for his daughter and does not fulfill her rights at all.

The Shaykh:
On his daughter.

The questioner:
And does not take care of.

The Shaykh:
On his daughter or his wife.

The questioner:
On his daughter and does not fulfill her rights at all. So is it permissible for her to transfer the guardianship to someone other than the father, and for someone other than the father to marry her off?

The Shaykh:
We told you that no one transfers the guardianship except the judge; no one transfers it except the judge, yes.
