Witnessing the marriage is recommended but not compulsory, but if the girl is virgin,her father or paternal grand father must permit or approve the marriage.
Wassalam.
Bismihi ta'ala
In our Shi'ah fiqh, it is not obligatory nor a condition for there to be any witnesses during a marriage contract.
However, it is advisable and recommended for marriage to be conducted in the presence of others, and for the Nikah to be publicised and announced.
And Allah knows best.
