The Ruling on Marriage with the Intention of Divorce
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is your opinion on marriage with the intention of divorce?
Answer:
If it leads to deception, it is not permissible, because it leads to deception. He marries every night, prays, and the children are neglected. This is not permissible because of the bad consequences that result from it.
Also, it resembles temporary marriage (mut'ah). It is a deception; it is a temporary marriage except that it is not explicitly stated. It is a deception of the third party, a deception of the wife. The wife does not realize that he intends to divorce her, and her guardian does not realize that he is escaping. They think he is staying with his wife, that he will remain, so they married him to her. If they had known that he married with the intention of divorce, they would not have married him to her, nor would they have given him their guardianship. The woman does not accept this; a wife who repents with him, who stays with him. Yes, this is deception and betrayal, and it leads to evil consequences, such as the neglect of the children. Yes.
