The answer

We advise you to fear Allah and to stay away from this woman, for Satan strives to beaut beautify the unlawful. As for marrying her, it must be with an offer from her guardian and acceptance from you, and the testimony of witnesses. This cannot be achieved by a paper she writes. So either you travel to her guardian, or you appoint a Muslim man in her country to conduct the marriage contract on your behalf.
