The answer

Marriage has conditions and pillars without which it is not valid according to , such as the guardian, witnesses, offer, and acceptance. What transpired between the man and the woman through writing via the internet is a trifle, by which marriage is not concluded, and no consequences ensue from it. Therefore, she must sever her relationship with this man and repent to Allah Almighty.
