A woman stipulating that her husband not divorce her
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a woman stipulates to the man who wants to marry her that he not divorce her, is her condition valid?
Answer:
No, this condition is not valid; because she is forbidding him something that Allah has made permissible for him. He has the right to divorce her if she is not suitable for him, and marriage is not binding on a person. Divorce is not even practiced among the Christians, whereas in Islam divorce is permissible, or it may become obligatory in some cases when there is a need.
