What is the ruling on marriage with the intention of divorce, and is it similar to temporary marriage?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: What is the ruling on marriage with the intention of divorce, and is it similar to temporary marriage?

Answer:
Marriage with the intention of divorce is not like temporary marriage; there is scholarly disagreement on this point, but the correct view is that it is not permissible. This is because it deceives the woman. It is not because it is temporary marriage, but because there is deception of the woman and her guardian. You married her with the intention of staying, while concealing in your heart the intention of not staying. You set a time limit, so it is a hidden temporary marriage, not an open one. It is a hidden temporary marriage for the one who intended it. As for the one who did not intend it—the wife and the guardian—it is not called temporary marriage in their case. Yes.
