Answer:

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and blessings and peace be
upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.
Making a marriage contract with a woman during her menstrual period is ‎‎correct and valid in Sharia. There is no evidence in Sunnah, which
‎‎prohibits marrying a woman during her menses period. But if the husband demands his wife after completing marriage contract to be with ‎‎him, in this case she has no right to refuse his demand. Hence he can ‎‎enjoy his wife without having sex with her.
if we trust a man and know that he will not commit Haram, i.e.(having sex during menses) then we could let his wife join him in private. If we suspect however that he can not protect himself from having sex with her during her period it is better not to let the wife be with him. Hence, there ‎‎is a rule that if avoiding Haram is only possible by avoiding some ‎‎permissible acts then it becomes compulsory to avoid those acts.
Allah knows best.
