The answer

There is no doubt about the seriousness of marrying without documenting the contract. If the civil contract fulfills the conditions and pillars of marriage, then obedience to parents in rejecting it is not obligatory when there is a need for marriage. However, if it lacks some conditions, such as requiring a guardian (wali) or witnesses, then it is invalid according to the majority of scholars.
