The answer

Offer and acceptance are pillars of contracts, and in marriage, they must be verbal as a precaution due to its significance and to affirm the clarity of the contract. Merely signing a written contract is not sufficient; rather, the offer must be verbally made by the guardian and the acceptance verbally by the husband. As for absentmindedness during the recitation of the formula, it does not affect the validity of the contract.
