What is the ruling on marrying with the intention of divorce?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on marrying with the intention of divorce?

Answer:
Why marry with the intention of divorce, my brother? Marry, and if she is good to you, keep her; and if she is not good to you, divorce her without contracting the marriage with the intention of divorce. Marriage is contracted with the intention of permanence, staying, and continuity. So if an unexpected circumstance arises and it becomes necessary that you do not want her, divorce her without this intention. This is the practice and the reality, and there is no need to marry with the intention of divorce. However, there is a discussion among some scholars who hold that it is invalid because it resembles temporary marriage (mut'ah); it resembles temporary marriage even if it is not explicitly stated. They also hold that it is a deception of the woman and a deception of the guardian, because they married you off and you married her with the intention of staying, yet you intend in your heart that you are not keeping her. This is betrayal and treachery. This is not permissible. Yes.
