I'm pretty sure every woman needs a wali for a marriage contract.
If she used to be married, the wali has to make the contract but he cannot refuse if he wanted to.

Still, stick an allahu aclam in there.

It's not something to cheer about, this is why you find Xalimos getting married to convict ajnabis. The father should be reasonable but It's pretty damn sick for the girl to choose a guy over her parents. As for the guy, he ain't no real man if he can't take a no from the father and needs to get his ass whooped.
How is this related to some Somali women marrying ajanbis(which btw is mainly a western phenomenon)when this man is Somali?

These are treated worse than ajnabis if you look at it, there's more chance for a family accepting an convict ajnabi convert than a gabooye, as if the latter aren't muslim. Not saying parents refusal should be taken lightly,but there have been cases where the guy committed suicide or elopes with the girl,and it's not worth it.Soon this practice will come to an end when people realise that they better come up with better reasons to say no.
