Men could inherit there brother wives etc. Islam came to stop this. And introduced the system of the Gaurdian. The Gaurdian has to have the best interests of the girl at heart and is there to protect her from anything that could harm her. If he objects to the marriage and provides no reason for it then she can still get married. The gaurdian isn't there to hamper the women but to protect her.
Why does a women need to get approval from a guardian and why doesn't a man need approval from a guardian?(sexiest)
Can you please back up you statement "In pre-islamic times men just married women against there will."
Protect her from what exactly?
What about the man's protection?
Why not 2 female witnesses?
Why not a groom gift?
