Article 23 of Jaafari Personal Status Law

English translation

Each of the two persons marrying must be sane, of sound judgment, and have attained puberty. If they are not so, their marriage shall not be valid, unless their compulsory guardian, such as the father or paternal grandfather, marries her, or the testamentary guardian appointed over them by the compulsory guardian, or the judge, marries her, where there is a benefit for them.
Arabic original
يعتبر في المتزوجين أن يكون كل منهما عاقلاً رشيداً بالغاً، فلو لم يكونا كذلك لم يصح زواجهما، إلا إذا زوجها وليهما الجبري كالأب والجد للأب، أو زوجها الوصي المجعول عليهما من الولي الجبري أو القاضي مع وجود المصلحة لهما.
