Is the marriage, which lacks a valid legal contract, a guardian, and a court registration, valid?

Answered as per Shafi'i Fiqh by Darul Iftaa Jordan
Is the marriage, which lacks a valid legal contract, a guardian, and a court registration, valid?

Answer:
It is incumbent that a valid marriage contract be concluded in the presence of a guardian and two trustful witnesses, and it should be registered in the court to protect the rights of the wife. Actually, a valid marriage contract is what differentiates between sound marriage and fornication.

This answer was collected from the official government Iftaa Department of Jordan.
