The answer

The marriage contract is not conditioned on being in Arabic; rather, it is valid in any language understood by both parties. If the guardian does not speak Arabic, each party can speak their own language with the presence of an interpreter. The important thing is to convey the meaning of offer and acceptance, even if one of the parties is not proficient in Arabic.
