What is the ruling regarding a woman marrying a man who is not of her nationality without the state's permission, knowing that the state prohibits this marriage for illegitimate reasons, and that the marriage was conducted fulfilling all the legitimate Sharia conditions of a guardian, witnesses, dowry, and announcement?
