Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may Allah protect him):
If her actual gender is not female, then it is not permissible to marry her.

Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may Allah protect him):
If she is a hermaphrodite with ambiguous gender, then marriage to her is not valid, and the contract is void.
