Answer
In order for a Nikah to be valid, there must be a proposal by the boy or girl and acceptance by the boy or girl in the past tense. That must be witnessed by two male witnesses or one male witness and two female witnesses. If the above mentioned conditions are not fulfilled, then the Nikah will not be valid.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
