The answer

If a man's legal marriage contract to a woman is concluded with the permission of her guardian and the presence of witnesses, then she is his wife. He must treat her with kindness, and her children by him are his children, and he must raise them well according to the beliefs and morals of Islam. For a man to see the woman he wishes to marry is desirable, but it is not a condition for the validity of the marriage.
