The Ruling on Marriage with the Intention of Divorce

Question:
The questioner says: You previously issued a ruling (Your Eminence) that it is permissible to marry with the intention of divorce. We have seen today people traveling abroad for the sake of this marriage, where they contract a marriage with a woman for two or three weeks, or less or more, then divorce her and return. What is the ruling on that?

Answer:
The majority of scholars hold that it is permissible with that intention, but leaving off that intention is better. One marries, and whenever he wishes to divorce, he does so; no one is held accountable for the divorce. One marries, and whenever he wishes to divorce, he may divorce, or he may take her to his country. The point is that marrying with the intention of divorce does no harm, but leaving off that intention is more preferable, more cautious, and better. One should marry her with the intention that if she suits him, he keeps her, and if not, he leaves her. Yes.
