My father refuses to speak to men on my behalf for marriage. Would I need to approach my uncles, even though I only see or speak to them every 2–3 years? I’m afraid they may send me back to him. Could I ask the masjid to help me find a trustworthy wali instead? I’m unsure what the right step is

She can go to the Muslim Judge if they are available in your country, if not then the Islamic center to appoint the wali.
