Is it permissible to consider the marriage valid if the woman said to the man: "I accept you as a husband," and the man said the same to her, and they called upon Allah to witness their marriage without the presence of human witnesses, and then they announced their marriage to people with a celebration?
If the guardian and two witnesses are not present during the marriage contract, the contract must be re-done with them, because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "There is no marriage without a guardian and two witnesses," and this is what the people of knowledge act upon.
