The error message is:
Line 7, column 6: end tag for "head" which is not finished
The explanation says:
Another possibility is that you used an element (e.g. 'ul') which
requires a child element (e.g. 'li') that you did not include. Hence
the parent element is "not finished", not complete.
The HTML specification says:
<!ELEMENT HEAD O O (%head.content;) +(%head.misc;) -- document head
-->
and
The TITLE element is not considered part of the flow of text.
It should be displayed, for example as the page header or
window title. Exactly one title is required per document.
You don't have a <title>, but it is required.
This is not an error with the validator.
