If the father gave the authority of spouse selection to his mature and working daughter and made it clear that he will happily accept her choice, can the girl do temporary marriage with a guy she wants without any further consent of her father?
It depends on the father's statement whether he meant giving her the full choice to marry whom ever she selects in Nikah or Mut'ah marriage.
If he was meaning permanent marriage Nikah only, then she still needs her father's permission for Mut'ah.
