ANSWER:

If he has blocked many good suitors, you can bypass him and your wali would be your paternal grandfather or your brother or your paternal uncle in this very order.

QUESTION: I’m in my 40s and have sincerely tried to marry, choosing religious and stable suitors. My only wali, my father, rejects them because he discourages my sunnah lifestyle. He’s not fully practicing, and I fear falling into sin. If he continues to block me unjustly, is it permissible to marry via wali hakim with proper witnesses, possibly overseas to maintain family ties?
