Is nikah valid if bride is menstruating? Is paak required for Ijaab-o-Qabool w/wakil?

Is nikah valid if the dulhan (bride) is menstruating on the day of nikah? Is it necessary to be paak while doing Ijaab-o-Qabool in front of a wakil?

Nikah is valid even in the state of menstruation. Paaki (to be clean and pure) is not necessary for nikah.
