What is the ruling on marriage without a guardian?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the countries that rule according to the Hanafi school: if they contract a marriage without a guardian, and then the woman comes and seeks a ruling according to another school, what is the outcome?

Answer:
This is a matter requiring consideration. It is possible that a judge has ruled in her favor, so it is a matter requiring consideration. According to the majority of scholars, a guardian is obligatory. The Hanafi position is a weak position that is not relied upon.
