A marriage is void and not valid except when the father of the girl is
present and he gives her away to him and the boy agrees and accepts.

Can a man and a woman marry (nikah) each other in the absence of their parents even though the parents are ready and have agreed upon the marriage to take place in the future. I mean if the parents have agreed for their children to marry in the future then in that case can the man and the woman perform their nikah even if their parents are not present during the time of nikah?
