Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If a man proposes to marry a divorced woman, and he knows that this divorced woman does not want him, and that she will do everything in her power to have him divorce her so that she can return to her first husband, is it permissible for this man to proceed with this marriage?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible for him to do that. He should not proceed with marrying her while she does not want him, but rather wants the first husband, and only wants to use him as a means to get back to the first husband. It is not permissible for him to do that.
