The answer

The offer and acceptance you mentioned between yourselves is not considered a valid marriage, as the validity of a marriage requires the presence of a guardian (wali) and witnesses. Furthermore, it is not permissible for a Muslim woman to marry a man who holds apostate beliefs, such as reviling the Companions. Therefore, you must turn away from marrying him and obey your family.
