Can any muslim girl who is over 21, get married without her father's consent?
Find answers to your legal question.

i am not a malaysian but i was wondering if this is possible in malaysia or other muslim countries, because non-muslim girls can get married without their father's consent when they turn 21 in malaysia, so i would like to know if this applies to muslim malaysian girls as well ?
if not in which muslim countries,a muslim girl can get married without her father's consent, if such countries exist at all ?

The problem might not be the legality of it so much as the the fact that 'honor killing' is still acceptable in many areas. What does it matter if it is legal if your brother/father/uncle/cousin will burn you to death.

I am Muslim and I married in Jordan and did not have my father or any brothers or uncles with me. They did not even ask..

you will have to leave your country.

You are considered an adult at the age of 21, and to have to have someones permission to do anything is ludicrous.
