The answer

A valid Islamic marriage ( shar'i) requires certain conditions to be met. Merely signing papers is not sufficient for its validity, as it lacks the offer (ijab) and acceptance (qabul). Consequently, the woman is not considered a legal wife, and a divorce would not be valid. One must be cautious and avoid laxity and leniency in matters of marriage and divorce.
