The answer

The of Abu Hanifa does not stipulate the guardian (wali) as a condition for the validity of marriage. Thus, the marriage of a free, legally competent woman without a guardian is valid according to him. As for documentation, it is not a condition for the validity of the contract, but it should not be abandoned in order to safeguard rights.
