Marrying with the Intention of Divorce for a Traveler for Trade or for Marriage

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there a difference between these two issues? The first is one who travels for a legitimate purpose, such as trade, and fears for himself from fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), so he marries with the intention of divorce. The second is one who travels for the purpose of marriage with the intention of divorce. Are both scenarios forbidden, or is the first permissible while the second is not?

Answer:
Marrying with the intention of divorce is not permissible, neither for this case nor for that one. One should marry with the intention of a lasting marriage if it is suitable for him, and if it is not suitable for him, he divorces her without having intended this at the time of the contract, because this is a deception of her and a deception of her family. He marries her on the premise that he wants to keep her, that he wants her as his wife, so he has deceived them in this. Yes.
