A Correct answer
Explanation

Under Muslim law, a Nikah (marriage contract) solemnized in the absence of a Qazi is considered valid, though irregular (Fasid) rather than void (Batil). The presence of a Qazi is not essential for the validity of marriage - what matters is the offer (Ijab) and acceptance (Qabul) by competent parties in the presence of witnesses. A marriage without a Qazi can be regularized later. The 'valid' option is correct as such marriages are not void.
