So in that case, she would be involved in negotiating the mahr directly.
I also learned something about a rukhsah only allowed in the Hanafi fiqh. If the husband is agreeable and there isn't a valid reason to reject him, but the father insists on being difficult, the judge will act as a wali, and the woman can marry without her father's permission. Marriage valid.

I told my mother that, and she said, "I don't care. We're Shafi3i "
