The answer

The couple must repent of what they have done. Their marriage is invalid, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Any woman who marries without the permission of her guardian, her marriage is invalid." Performing the marriage a second time without a guardian is not valid unless the officiant is the Muslim ruler or a Sharia judge. The child is attributed to the man due to intercourse under a misconception (waty shubha). The marriage of a pregnant woman due to intercourse under a misconception, where the misconception originated from the man, is valid according to the Shafi'is.
