Divorce of the wife due to her mixing with men in her studies
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I contracted marriage with a woman, and her family made it a condition in the contract that she complete her studies. Then it became clear to me that there is mixing in her studies. I asked them to have her leave the studies or change her field of study, but they refused, so I divorced her. Is that permissible for me, and is my action correct?
Answer:
It is permissible for you to divorce her, even if there were no studies involved. You are free to proceed with the marriage or to divorce her if she is not suitable for you. There is no blame on you in that. And if your divorce of her was for this reason, that is a good thing. Divorce her, and may Allah provide you with someone else. Yes.
