Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Under Sunni law a marriage requires two male witnesses, or one male and two female witnesses, who are sane, adult Muslims. A marriage contracted without witnesses is irregular (fasid), not void (batil): the defect is temporary and can be cured, but the marriage has no full legal effect until then.
