Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect him):
It is required for marrying a virgin girl to have the consent of her father or paternal grandfather, if she is not independent in her affairs and does not have control over her own matters. It is strongly recommended to obtain the consent of one of them if she is independent in her affairs.
Therefore, the contract with a virgin is not valid without the permission of her guardian, according to the ruling for non-independent virgins and as a precaution for independent ones.
