Validity of Nikaah

Slmz

A niece made nikaah without any of her family knowing, not her dad, nor her brother. Her witness’s were her husband’s grandfather and 2 cousins of the husband.
Is this nikaah valid?
Even though she has a father and adult brother..

Answer

ASSLAMU ALAIKUM

19 Ramadhaan 1432  (19-08-2011)

  While the Nikah is valid, the girl  committed a grave sin  by marrying without the consent of her  father. If she had no valid Islamic reason, then marrying in this manner  was not permissible despite the validity of the Nikah.
