Marriage Without Father’s Consent

Q:

Would a marriage that took place where her father’s consent was required and not given, be regarded as unlawful and zina (adultery) in case of sexual intercourse that took place?

A:

If she was aware of the ruling that she needs to acquire the consent of her father, it is considered to be unlawful and they need to be separated. (Office of Ayatullah Sistani)
