What is the validity of a marriage contract that was conducted with the following wording: "I ask for the hand of your daughter, your entrusted one (girl's name), for my son, my entrusted one (boy's name)," with the girl's father responding with, "I accept to marry my daughter, my entrusted one (girl's name), to your son, your entrusted one (boy's name)," and then the dowry was mentioned? Is what happened considered a valid marriage contract?

Marriage has pillars, which are the presence of the guardian or his representative, two just witnesses, and a formula indicating the contract (offer and acceptance). Acceptance may precede the offer according to the majority of scholars, and the contract is valid according to most scholars. Marriage is concluded by whatever people consider a marriage in their custom, and no specific formula is required for it. Also, marriage is concluded without mentioning the dowry because it is not one of its pillars.
