The guardian of the girl, whether her father, brother or uncle, plays an important role in her marriage, such as finding a suitable match for her. But under NO circumstance does this allow him to FORCE his choice on her against her wishes. She is FREE to accept or reject his choice, or make her own choice. A woman named Khansa bint Khidam (RU) once came to the Prophet (SAW) and complained:
"My father has forced me to marry my cousin in order to raise his own status (in the eyes of the people)." The Prophet (SAW) told her that she was free to dissolve this marriage and choose whoever she wished to marry. She replied, "I accept my father's choice, but my aim was to let the women know that fathers have no right to interfere in the marriage." (Ahmad, An-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah)
