The Widow Marrying Herself

Question
A widow spoke to a man on the phone, and they agreed to marry. She said to him: I have married myself to you, and he said to her: I accept. Is this how the marriage contract has been concluded?
Answer

I say, and with God's success: There are conditions for contracts, including witnesses, which were not present, so there is no contract between them. This statement is religiously forbidden, and she must repent to God Almighty from it. And God knows best.
