Witnesses

Q: Regarding nikah witnesses on Ask Imam website it states:

The wakeel represents the bride in the presence of the two witnesses who must be trustworthy and pious male Muslims. They should not be from among the girls ascendants e.g. father, etc. nor from her descendants, e.g. son, etc. https://islamqa.org/hanafi/askimam/28924

Could you please explain the above regarding witnesses in the nikaah. Will the nikaah be valid if the witnesses of the nikaah are among the girls ascendants e.g. father, etc. or from her descendants, e.g. son, etc?

Q: In a nikah ceremony for a new Muslim couple, one male adult wakeel on behalf of bride and another male adult witness were present. Is the nikah for both valid. Later this nikah was register in a madressa with a mufti.

Q: Can you let me know in Islam if a nikaah is only valid if it is performed by an imam and if there are witnesses present? Or is the nikaah valid without being performed by an imam and without witnesses or can the couple perform nikaah themselves?

Q: My friend did nikah with her boyfriend. Both are Muslims. But they did not go to any qazi and their parents were also absent. It took place in front of two Muslim men. The boy said "mein Fatima ko apne nikah Mein kabool karta hoon". She also said "kabool hain" just one time. Witnesses were adult Muslims. Are they husband and wife?

Q: I want to know if a person gets married without the consent of their parents (means court marrige). Both parties are mature people and the people present at the time of the nikkah were the lawyer and 2 friends. They didnt sign the nikkah nama as witnesses whereas there are signatures of unknown people who were not present there at the time of the nikah, so is this nikah valid? So the nikah took place in court as it was a secret nikkah and there was no wali present. it was just the groom, bride, 2 female friends of the girl, 1 lawyer and 1 molvi to perform the nikah. The marriage was registered. But on the nikah nama as a witness 2 unknown people signed who were not present there at the time of nikah. So is this nikah valid?

Q: Do two witnesses have to be present/hear the woman give her consent to her wali/guardian for the nikaah?

Q: I have done a nikkah on message with my fiance without the presence of any witness but i took the snapshots of those messages as a proof but later after 8 months due to some misunderstandings i gave a tallaq to her later one more time i said "i end this relation right now in my full senses"(i didn't used the word tallaq second time) and later after one month due to misunderstandings i again gave tallaq 3rd time (by using the word tallaq) all these were done on messages i have snapshots of nikkah and tallaq as well and now we both are very afraid that if that nikkah was true or was acceptable according to shariah and if it is so the tallaq that i gave her was acceptable or not please help me out if both things were right then is there any way we both could be togather again and get the nikkah done or not??

Q: If a girl says to herself ‘I am married’ and no one can hear her, does she become married?

Q: My question is regarding my marriage. When I met my husband I wasnt paying much attention to religion so we married in court as civil marriage. My father and mother left me alone in another country so I didn't have any wali present on the day we got married. Now since I learned more about Islam and I am concerned, I would like to know if our marriage is valid?

Q: If a girl and boy gets married without any witnesses, the nikah is invalid. In this case, does the boy have to divorce the girl or there was no marriage in the first place?
