i read this in another thread...just had few questions...(cos the thread is closed)
Nikah: This is the process by which a man and a woman become husband and wife. The short ceremony is usually conducted by an Imam. A minimum of two witnesses are required to be present in the nikah. The bride must always be accompanied by a Wali or guradian. During this ceremony the mahr (or marriage gift) that the groom gives to his bride is also decided. The Imam delivers the "Khutbah" of the nikah, which is a sermon with Quranic verses and Islamic speech. The Nikah process makes both the man and woman legal for each other as husband and wife.
does that mean my family would have to be there?couldnt i have someone else give me away?is that all that happens in a muslim wedding?any info would be great thanx.
Woman need Wali Nasab in nikah procession. Wali Nasab is her father, or her grandfather from her father side, or her brother, or her uncle from her father side. If all of those Wali Nasab cannot be her wali, or refuse to become wali for her, she can request an officer from sharia institution or officer from Muslim government to be her wali in nikah, it called Wali Hakim. If she cannot find Wali Hakim, she can request an Alim, or a Muslim man who competent in teaching Islamic knowledge, to be her wali in nikah. It called Wali Tahkim.
I often heard, in Hanafi madhab, women can marry without wali. But I need further explanation about it from someone who know much about Hanafi fiqh.
You may find this a bit lengthy but I'm sure you'll find a lot of benefit, as well as a lot of answers to your questions, in these videos.

And verily for everything that a slave loses there is a substitute, but the one who loses Allah will never find anything to replace Him.” [Related by Ibn al-Qayyim in ad-Dâ' wad-Dawâ Fasl 49]

Abu Moosa said that the Prophet () said: "There is no (valid) marriage without a wali." [1]
It was narrated that ‘Aisha (r) said that the Messenger of Allah () said: "Any woman who gets married without the permission of her wali, her marriage is invalid, her marriage is invalid, her marriage is invalid. If the marriage has been consummated then she is entitled to the dowry because she allowed the man to be intimate with her. If she does not have a wali then the ruler is the wali of one who does not have a wali." [2]

2. (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 1102; Abu Dawood, 2083; Ibn Maajah, 1879. This hadeeth was classed as hasan by al-Tirmidhi and as saheeh by Ibn Hibbaan (9/384) and al-Haakim (2/183)).
