The answer

If the marriage is without the guardian's permission, it is invalid, because the guardian is a condition for the validity of the marriage, and his approval after the contract is not taken into consideration.

The separation occurs by the husband's divorce or the judge's annulment.

If they desire to continue their marital life, the contract must be renewed in the correct manner. If the guardian refuses to marry her off without a legitimate religious reason, the judge shall marry her off.
