The Marriage of a Young Girl made by Anyone other than her Guardian

Question: A young girl still not of age was given in marriage by her uncle whereas her father, who was present, did not at all consent to the marriage. Is the marriage valid?

Answer: The validity of the marriage hinges on the permission of the father when he sane and capable of being a guardian. It will therefore be valid only if he consents to it. And Allaah knows best what is most correct.
