hey anishappy no they are not underage she is 30 and I do not think marriage by proxy applies here
Anis Farhat May 3, 2011:
Hi Ms.Taghreed Mahmoud. Proxy marriage does not apply to Muslim marriage contract. Both spouses must be present. Here I think that the bride is underage. Thus, she needs the consent of the parents. Here we have to check the age.

Anis Farhat May 2, 2011:
Hi Sarah, How old are they? Is one of them underage?
sarahharb (asker) May 2, 2011:
تم عقد النكاح للمذكورين بولاية الوكيل بعد أن تحققت من توفر توفر شروطه و أركانه المعتبرة و إنتقاء موانعه

Attorney = proxy = one who acts for the bride.
