Peace be upon you. The mere lack of communication between a father and his daughters does not mean that he has relinquished his authority over their marriage. Unless there is clear evidence indicating his desire not to intervene and to relinquish his authority, it is obligatory to seek permission from their guardian, even in the scenario presented, regardless of whether the girl is independent in her life and has control over her affairs. This is affirmed by both Ayatollah Khamenei and Ayatollah Sistani, who emphasize the importance of obtaining consent from the guardian in such matters.
