The answer

Marriage is one of Allah's signs. Allah described it as a solemn covenant. For its validity, the presence of a guardian (wali) and witnesses is required. The aforementioned marriage is invalid due to the absence of a guardian and witnesses; it must be annulled. The child is attributed to his father due to the doubt (). The contract can be renewed validly with the guardian's permission and the presence of witnesses.
