The answer

The marriage contract is invalid due to her pregnancy from fornication, and the absence of the condition of two male witnesses and the requirement of the guardian (wali). The contract must be renewed by her Muslim guardian or a Muslim judge. The children are attributed to their father on whose bed they were born.
