It is permissible for a woman in her (waiting period) to marry legally after its expiration, with the permission of her guardian (wali) and the presence of witnesses. It is not a condition for the marriage to take place in a specific location like a mosque. A brother may bear witness to his sister's marriage if he fulfills the conditions for witnesses, while cautioning the questioner against violating the law.
