(Fatwa: 1666/1143/L=1432) (1) In the said situation, since you were present at the time of nikah hence nikah took place and you became the solemniser of nikah and the Qazi and other male shall become witness. (2) At the time of nikah, if there is one male then nikah is valid provided husband and wife are present at the time of ijab-o-qubool (proper exchange of nikah words). (3) A Qazi may become witness when the husband and wife are present. لو زوج الأب بالغة عند رجل واحد إن حضرت البالغة صح لأنه إذا حضرت صارت كأنها عاقدة والأب وذلك الرجل شاهدان والا فلا يصح . مجمع الأنهر : 1/475)
