The Ruling on Marriage with the Intention of Divorce
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the ruling on marriage with the intention of divorce for one who is outside this country?
Answer:
Marriage is to be with the intention of permanence, not with the intention of divorce. She is your wife. As long as she is good, she is your wife. If you wish to part with her or she does not suit you, you divorce her without intending this in the contract. Without intending this in the contract.
Because if it is intended in the contract, it is problematic from his side, indeed from three sides. The first side is that this is deception of the woman and deception of her guardian, because they married you off on the basis that it is a continuous marriage. If they had known it was a marriage with the intention of divorce, they would not have proceeded with it, if they had any honor, religion, or life. And if they have no honor, no religion, and no modesty, then there is no good in them. This is the first matter.
The second matter is that this resembles mut'ah. Then it is explicit mut'ah, but you intended mut'ah; you intended it, so you took this woman, married her for a limited period, and then divorced her. This is what resembles the invalid mut'ah.
Thirdly, this contract is used as a means to play with women's honor. Especially in the time of perfume. Many young men and those who have no life or honor, but who have money, have started traveling to enjoy women abroad. He takes an amount of money and marries every night. And she also, she also marries on the second night without a waiting period and without anything, because they seek money.
So it has become a game. This has become a game and a mixing of lineages. It is not a valid contract, but rather it is in the form of a contract, and its purpose is that he plays with women, one woman each night, and she is with a man each night. This is a matter that is not permissible, and neither reason nor religion approves of it. Yes.
