Is it permissible to marry with the intention of divorce after a certain period, without the wife knowing about it?

Question:
He asks: Is it permissible to marry with the intention of divorce after a year or otherwise, without the wife knowing about it?

Answer:
It is not permissible to marry with the intention of divorce. It leads to many harms, the loss of children, and invalid stratagems. So, it is not permissible to marry with the intention of divorce. Marry with the intention of a continuing marriage. If she is good to him, he keeps her; if she is not good to him, he divorces her without having intended divorce at the time of the contract. At the time of the contract, he intends a continuing marriage. If she improves her conduct toward him later, he keeps her; if she does not improve, he divorces her. As for intending at the time of the contract to divorce her after a few days have passed, thereby wasting the offspring that may come, and marrying a second and third wife, and so on, as some who follow their desires do, this is not permissible. It is playing with marriage. It is playing with marriage, deceiving women, and wasting children.
