She was indeed living in haram as the marriage contract was not valid until her father made the correct contract!

There is nothing she can do except to repent to Allah, show remorse, seek His forgiveness and offer good deeds.

my sister’s friend did nikah in 2000 without her fathers knowledge. when she got pregnant then her parents came to know.her father got anger but then he firgave her and sent her with her husband. she has 7 children now. when she was pregnant with the 7th baby at that time she went to court for nikah with her father. my question is, Is she was living in haraam? now what she should do?
