The waiting period of a woman whose husband was captured in battle
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, if a woman’s husband is captured in battle and then imprisoned in another country, what is her waiting period?
The Shaykh:
She remains in his marriage bond, provided you are certain that he is alive but a captive. She remains in his marriage bond. However, if she claims harm in waiting, and claims harm, the judge may annul the marriage to remove the harm from her, and she observes the waiting period of a divorce.
Another questioner:
A need has returned.
The Shaykh:
If the judge annuls the marriage and he returns, I have no right to her. Yes.
