Pearl of Wisdom

In response to an atheist who asked him, 'For what purpose did He create humanity if He had no need for them and neither was he compelled to create them, and nor would it be proper for Him to create us in vain?', replied, 'He created them to reveal [to them] His wisdom, to execute His knowledge, and to carry out His plan.'

Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as]
Ibid. v. 10, p. 167, no. 2

Question : #770 Category: Marriage - Nikkah
Subject: Shia-Sunni marriage
Question: As-Salamuu Aleykum!

A married Muslim couple are writing you to ask a question.

We entered into marriage, and our religious contract was made by a Shia akhund (imam) without any witnesses present. He claimed that no witnesses were needed as it wasn't the first marriage for us (we both were divorced individuals), and afterwards we just needed to declare everyone that we got married. I was Shia at the time of the marriage, while the lady whom I married was (still is) Sunni.

Later on I decided to become Sunni, and am now Sunni.

The question is: is the above-mentioned marriage lawful according to Sharia? If not, what steps should we take?

We will appreciate your prompt response.
