Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This listener says: Her mother was married when she was young and suffered from her husband, so she remained in a state of suspension for a long time until she divorced him. She vowed that she would never marry a relative again. After a period of time, her cousin proposed to her and she married him, having forgotten her vow. After a very long time, approximately thirty years, she remembered what she had vowed to Allah. Her question is: Does she owe anything? Does she owe an expiation or is there a legal ruling? May Allah bless you.
Answer:
She owes an expiation for a broken oath, and the marriage is valid, praise be to Allah. Yes.
