1879. It was narrated from 'Aishah that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Any woman whose marriage is not arranged by her guardian, her marriage is invalid, her marriage is invalid. If (the man) has had intercourse with her, then the Mahr belongs to her in return for his intimacy with her. And if there is any dispute then the ruler is the guardian of the one who does not have a guardian." (Sahih)
1879 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مُوسَى، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ لَمْ يُنْكِحْهَا الْوَلِيُّ، فَنِكَاحُهَا بَاطِلٌ، فَنِكَاحُهَا بَاطِلٌ، فَنِكَاحُهَا بَاطِلٌ، فَإِنْ أَصَابَهَا، فَلَهَا مَهْرُهَا بِمَا أَصَابَ مِنْهَا، فَإِنِ اشْتَجَرُوا، فَالسُّلْطَانُ وَلِيُّ مَنْ لَا وَلِيَّ لَهُ»

a. As the consent of the girl is necessary for the marriage, likewise the permission of her guardian is necessary too. As indicated in Hadith 1870 as well. b. The marriage without the permission of the guardian is religiously illegal. Nevertheless if the guardian refuses to give permission, the separation will be made between the husband and wife. c. In case of separation after consummating the marriage, the husband will be necessarily responsible for paying the full amount of dower.
