My friend wants to marry, and the woman's family requires a male guardian to be present. Her father has died, and she has no brothers. What is the proper religious and legal process in this situation?

Religiously, guardianship passes in order to a paternal uncle, then his son, and then other eligible male relatives. If no one is available, a judge can assume the role. It is not an insurmountable legal obstacle.

We follow a similar process in Kuwait. She can go to the religious court to establish guardianship or ask for a judge to act as guardian. It is a straightforward procedure.
