The answer

If the marriage () is conducted with its pillars and legal conditions, then it is valid. It is not a condition for its validity that the wife signs the marriage contract document. Rather, what is required is to seek her permission if she is a virgin (bikr) or her explicit command if she is a previously married woman (thayyib), as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "A previously married woman should not be married until she is consulted, and a virgin should not be married until her permission is sought." In this situation, the wife is not divorced, and she does not have the right to seek a divorce without a legitimate Islamic excuse.
