according to Shafi madhab, a father can force her daughter to merry the man he choses for her. Honestly I just can't understand how come this is possible, but I found out it is, at least I've been told so!

by the way, I have a question, is neccessary to have wali's persmission? for example I am a hanafi and if I wanted to merry someone but my parents forbid me with no valid reasons, can I merry withouth their permission? is their permission neccessary even in this case? what's the opinion of hanafi madhab about this?

I'm no expert on Islam, but from what I've read on the subject, my interpretation is this: forced marriage is prohibited, but young people are supposed to respect their elders, especially their parents. This means that a father wouldn't need to "force" his daughter into marriage, as she would recognize that he wants what is best for her and trust his judgement, so he would merely need to request that she marry him without anyone being forced.
