What is the ruling on courts forcing women to be prevented from marriage for a period of time due to their marital defiance?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: The courts issue documents preventing women from marrying for seven or ten years due to their marital defiance. What is the ruling on that?

Answer:
I do not think the Shari'ah courts issue such rulings, unless these are legal courts. As for the Shari'ah courts, they do not issue this, such as a woman not being able to marry until after ten years. However, if a woman commits marital defiance, her financial maintenance, housing, and clothing are dropped from the husband's obligation. Her rights against the husband are dropped until she returns to obedience. As for her being prevented from marrying for ten years, that is not correct. Yes.
