Wali for a Muslim who has no Muslim family members

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I was born in a Hindu family and later reverted to Islam. My family had broken all relation with me after knowing it. So I live alone and work in a company. I have received marriage proposal from a Muslim man whom I know for few years. I want to marry him but as I know, a wali is required for a woman to marry. Kindly inform me how to get married in this situation. Do I need to inform my family that I am getting married. They are already very angry after I accepted Islam. I fear that they would harm me.

Bismillaah

A: Responsible people of the community may represent you after taking your consent.
