Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect him):
It is required for a virgin girl to have the consent of her father or paternal grandfather if she is not independent in her life affairs and does not have control over her own matters. It is strongly recommended to obtain the permission of one of them if she is independent in her affairs. The fact that the father is imprisoned does not mean that his guardianship is nullified; it is possible to obtain his permission while he is in prison.

Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may God protect him):
It is strongly recommended to seek permission from her father or paternal grandfather, and the contract is not valid without the permission of one of them. The fact that the father is imprisoned does not mean that his guardianship is nullified; it is possible to obtain his permission while he is in prison.
