What is the ruling on marrying with the intention of divorce, where one is studying abroad or trading, so he marries and then divorces after his studies or trade are finished?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a person who is studying in a country or going for trade to marry in that country with the intention of divorce? That is, if his studies or trade end, he divorces without the knowledge of the wife or her guardian? The person has premeditated the intention to divorce after the period of his stay in this country ends? Please give us a ruling, may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
The correct view is that this is not permissible; because it resembles temporary marriage (mut'ah), and because it involves deceiving the woman and her guardians, because on the surface it appears that he married her desiring her to stay with him and continue with him, but he conceals the opposite, so he is deceiving her and her guardians. The correct view is that this is not permissible, yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
