Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A woman in the West, yes, a woman residing in the West, yes, married with a Shari'ah contract in the mosque and a legal contract in the court. Then her husband divorced her with a Shari'ah divorce witnessed by two men, without registering the divorce in the court. Her question is: Is it permissible for her to marry another man with a Shari'ah contract? Legally, knowing that if she gives birth to a child from the second husband, the law will attribute the child to the first husband, since he is her husband in the eyes of the law.

Answer:
The issue of marriages abroad and divorces abroad: there are Islamic centers there. She should consult the nearest Islamic center, which is responsible for looking into this divorce and this matter. Yes. We do not know; we are far from them and from their procedures. Yes.
