Q: Can a virgin girl get married without her wali (Islamic guardian)?
A. According to the Hanafi Madhab, Nikah of a Baalighah girl without a Wali is valid (Raddul Muhtaar V9 P342).
In the Shaafi’ee Madhab, a Wali is a condition for the validity of the Nikah (Mughniyul Muhtaaj V3 P147).
Although valid in the Hanafi Madhab, it is discouraged and not advisable.
