Power of Attorney in Marriage Contract

Question
Is it permissible for a person to appoint someone to act on their behalf in their marriage contract because they are in one country and the girl is in another country? Is this contract valid? Is a new contract required if the girl arrives in the husband's country?
Answer

I say, and with God's success: The power of attorney in marriage is valid, and the agent acts on behalf of the principal, and there is no need to renew the marriage contract again by the principal, and God knows best.
