عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : «لا تُزوِّجُ المرأةُ المرأةَ، ولا تُزوج المرأةُ نفسَها، فإنَّ الزَّانية هي التي تُزوجُ نفسَها».
This Hadīth proves that a woman does not have the authority to perform her own marriage, let alone someone else's marriage. Any marriage performed by a woman is void. As for the sentence: "It is an adulteress who performs her own marriage", these are Abu Hurayrah’s words. By this he meant that only adulteresses perform their own marriages, so a chaste woman must not marry without a guardian.
