Can a Woman Marry Without Family Consent?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Is it permissible for a woman to marry a man without her family and also without telling them?

Bismillaah

A: On account of the abundant problems and complications that are found through performing secret marriages, we strongly discourage it. We insist that the marriage be publicized and conducted with the consent of the parents or guardians.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
