Question:
May Allah reward you. This man says: I deceived a woman until her husband divorced her, because I promised her that if she were divorced, I would marry her. Now that she has been divorced, am I required to marry her, even though I do not desire her, and I only hated her husband?
Answer:
This is one of the great crimes, a great corruption. We seek refuge in Allah. It is obligatory for you to repent to Allah the Exalted, to refrain from what you did, and to strive to do good deeds, so that perhaps Allah will expiate it for you. For you have wronged both the husband and the wife. You must advise her to return to her husband by any means, by phone or through a recommendation from someone you see, so that you work the causes for her return to her husband, if it is possible for her to return to her husband. If he divorced her less than the third time, and if there is still a possibility for her to return to her husband in a good manner, and if you are able to marry her, then strive to marry her, so that perhaps you may alleviate some of the injustice that occurred from you toward her and her husband. This is with sincere repentance to Allah the Exalted, much regret, and good deeds. We ask Allah for safety.
