Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
It is evident that the guardians (awliya) of an orphan girl would be her brothers or paternal uncles, etc. They are not permitted to force her into marriage. However, the father is allowed to contract the marriage (nikah) of a minor girl, but after reaching puberty (bulugh), she has the right to annul or maintain the marriage.
