The Ruling on Marriage with the Intention of Divorce
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is your opinion on marriage with the intention of divorce?
Answer:
If it leads to harm, it is not permissible, because it leads to harm. He cohabits with her every night, prays, and neglects the children. This is not a situation that should occur, rather it leads to bad consequences. Also, it is a deception of the truth. Or it resembles temporary marriage (mut'ah), and it is a deception, though it is not exactly mut'ah, but I say it is not approved.
And it is a deception of the other party, a deception of the wife. The wife did not know that he intended to divorce, and her guardian did not know that he intended to divorce. They thought it was a marriage for a wife, a valid marriage, so they married her to him. If they had known that he was marrying with the intention of divorce, they would not have married her to him, nor would they have given him their guardianship. And the woman does not accept this; she wants a husband who stays with her and remains with her. Yes, this is deception and fraud, and it leads to great harms, such as the neglect of the children. Yes.
