How should a girl express to her father that she is ready to get married?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: In your opinion, by which means can a girl (soon 20 years old) show to her father her ability to get married, her being responsible?

A: The father should realise that his daughter is of age and he should make the attempts to settle her as soon as possible. Unfortunately, if this is not the case of the father, then she should in some way get this message conveyed to the father.
