It is permissible to say the marriage formula on behalf of the bride even if she does not speak Arabic, provided that she understands the meaning of the formula and agrees to it. Her consent is essential for the marriage to be valid.

It is also important that the bride is aware of the marriage and agrees to it, even if she does not speak Arabic. The marriage will be valid as long as she understands the implications and gives her consent.
