The majority of scholars (Malikis, Shafi'is, and Hanbalis) stipulate the guardian (wali) for marriage, so a woman is not permitted to marry herself. Accordingly, if the girl's father is present, her marriage without him is invalid and must be annulled according to the majority. However, if a judge conducts the marriage contract or rules it valid, then the marriage becomes effective and valid and is not annulled.
