The Ruling on Marriage with the Intention of Divorce
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: The practice of marriage with the intention of divorce has become widespread among some people, while keeping it hidden in their hearts and not informing the intended wife. He asks: Is this permissible?
Answer:
This is not permissible. You married her on the condition that you would be her husband continuously. If you hide it in your heart or intend in your heart to divorce her, this is betrayal. She does not know about this; if she knew, she would not have married you. Yes.
