Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.
What you did is nothing but Zina (fornication) in which a man and a woman both agree to satisfy their desires secretly.
A valid marriage should meet some conditions such as getting married with the consent of guardian, the presence of two witnesses, fixing bridal money and it should be in public. See Fataawa: 83629 and 81385.
So, you should sincerely repent from this grave sin. You may marry any religious man after repentance. Moreover, you should conceal your sin and should not inform any one about it before or after marriage as we mentioned in Fatwa: 83058.
Allaah Knows best.
