Transfer of Marriage Authority to the Uncle in the Presence of the Father

Question
A young man loved a girl and wanted to marry her, but her father refused this marriage. The girl's uncle married her knowing that the young man is suitable for her. Is this permissible?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: If the girl's mother prevents her from marrying without just cause, she is considered an obstructer, and the guardianship transfers to the judge, not to the other guardians. Therefore, she should request the judge to marry her due to her guardian's obstruction. And God knows best.
