The answer

The girl wronged herself and disobeyed her Lord by establishing an unlawful relationship with a foreign man. She must initiate repentance, seek forgiveness, and perform righteous deeds. Her marriage without her father's permission is invalid according to the majority of scholars and must be annulled immediately. It becomes valid and binding if a judge rules it to be sound, or if it is contracted by someone who follows Imam Abu Hanifa's school of thought.
