Q: Can a woman get married without the approval of her wali?

Q: I'm a doctor by profession and inshallah a child specialist very soon... I am 29 years old... My father wants me to marry his nephew who is a laboratary technician and works in a lab... I personally don't want to marry him because I want that someone should be of my rank at least, other wise my friends and others will make fun of me.

Now, my father is insisting on his point of view for the last 10 years... He rejects proposals from outside and my parents continuously force that my cousins proposal is a good proposal... They say that If I marry out of the family then I will suffer a lot... The boy can beat me and send me home.

I'm stuck between not to marrying my cousin and the fear of marrying intp an unknown family. I want to ask whether I should do as my parents my parents say as they are old and in depression? They even curse me that I am the reason behind their distress and suffering and if I will not follow their wish, I will never be happy. Please guide me.

Q: From what I have read on the internet, a father can force his daughter, if she is prepubescent, to marry someone against her consent so long as it serves a clear interest for her. This deeply disturbs me. Just because it serves an interest for her, this absolutely does not mean that she will want to be married of if she is ready for it. If she is forced to be married to someone she never wanted to be married to, then she will forever live her life being extremely depressed, resentful, and ungrateful regardless of serving an interest. This is common sense. Is there any way she can get out of a marriage she never wanted to be in?

I have received marriage proposal from a Muslim man whom I know for few years. I want to marry him but as I know, a wali is required for a woman to marry. Kindly inform me how to get married in this situation. Do I need to inform my family that I am getting married. They are already very angry after I accepted Islam. I fear that they would harm me.
