It is permissible to marry a righteous girl, and she should be given in marriage by a Muslim judge, or by an upright Muslim man with her consent if a judge is not available.
This can be done online, with the presence of the girl and two witnesses, in the presence of the mosque's imam. The marriage contract is conducted via video call, where the imam says: "I give you [name of girl] in marriage," and the suitor says: "I accept marriage to [name of girl]."
The unlawful relationship must be severed until the marriage contract is concluded.
