The father refuses to prepare his daughter to get married – does her maternal uncle have to do that?
Question

                If the father refuses to prepare his daughter to get married, does her maternal uncle have to spend on preparing her?.
Praise be to Allah.
    In the answer to question no.
    2127 we have 
    discussed the rulings on marriage in detail, and we have defined who is the 
    guardian for marriage purposes. 

    From this it is known that the maternal uncle is not one of 
    the woman’s guardians with regard to marriage. If her father refuses to 
    spend on her wedding and on preparing her for marriage, then does her 
    maternal uncle have to do that in this case? 

    Shaykh Ibn Jibreen (may Allaah preserve him) told us that the 
    maternal uncle is not obliged to spend on her; in this case the closest male 
    relatives on the father’s side are the ones who are obliged to spend, such 
    as her brothers and paternal uncles; or the husband has to spend it and it 
    becomes part of her mahr. 

    And Allaah is the source of strength.
