Requesting the annulment of the marriage from the court, and the husband arrived before the annulment was completed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 18560 )
Q: I have a sister who is married. Her husband traveled to France for work. He used to correspond with her, but then he cut off contact with her. We all tried to contact him and search for him, but no trace of him was found. After two years or more, my sister contacted the court to request a judicial divorce (ghaybi) and, while waiting for the divorce ruling to be issued, her husband came . We did not find out the reason for his absence. He asked his wife and all of us for forgiveness for his mistake, and he wanted to return to his wife and his small son, who was born a few months after his travel. What should his wife, who is my sister, do in this situation, given that she is willing to return to him? Please note that the divorce has not been issued by the court.
A: If the situation is as described, and the religious judge has not yet annulled her marriage, then she is still his wife and under his protection. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
