Question
The father of a girl is flagrantly in conflict with the Deen. In fact he is a faasiq who sent his daughter to university. Now she has struck up a haraam relationship with a non-Muslim boy who has embraced Islam for marrying this girl. But the father refuses because the boy is not of the same race. This girl has been having a relationship with this boy for years. The girl and her parents are Hanafis. What is the solution?
Answer
According to the Hanafi Math-hab, a woman's marriage is valid without the consent of her Wali. If she has a valid Deeni reason for wanting to bypass her Wali, then she may have her nikah performed without the permission of her wali. In the scenario described by you, she should proceed with her marriage even without the consent of her faasiq, faajir father who has lost his wilaayat over her. He had paved the pathway of Jahannam for her. He should now enjoy the consequences.
