The answer

Marriage is a great ritual that has conditions for its validity, the most important of which are the guardian (wali) and witnesses. The aforementioned marriage is invalid due to the absence of these two conditions, and it requires divorce () or annulment (). In case of dispute, the court or the Muslim community must be consulted to resolve the disagreement.
