Abu Burdah narrated from his father, he said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "There is no marriage valid without a guardian."

The same hadith is narrated with these words from Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari, may Allah be pleased with him.

It is narrated from Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Any woman who marries without the permission of her guardian, her marriage is invalid, her marriage is invalid, her marriage is invalid. Then if the guardians dispute (one says marry so-and-so, another says marry so-and-so), then the ruler is the guardian of the one who has no guardian. So if a man has intercourse with such a woman (without the permission of her guardian), then she is entitled to a dowry (i.e., he must give her the dowry), in exchange for the man having made her private parts lawful to himself.”Abu Asim said: I was dictated this hadith in the year 146 Hijri.
