The answer

What occurred was not a legally valid marriage contract, as it is void due to the absence of a guardian (wali) or witnesses. What you did by divorcing her is correct, and it is considered a dissolution (faskh) of this corrupt marriage. You do not have the right to take her back (raj'a). If the dissolution occurs before consummation (dukhul), the woman is not entitled to a dower (mahr), and you have the right to reclaim the dower or gifts that were given to her.
