The Ruling on Marriage with the Intention of Divorce

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Abu 'Ali from al-Kharj says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on a marriage where the man intends to divorce? Is there any sin on the one who does this?

Answer:
Yes. If a person marries with the intention of divorce, intending to do so after a few days, a year, or an hour, just to satisfy his desire, then this is a marriage that brings no good. It is a marriage of deception and treachery, because it is a deception of her. She married him, and her guardian gave him her hand on the basis that it was a marriage of permanence and guardianship, whereas his intention is otherwise. This is deception, treachery, and misleading the woman. This is not permissible. Yes.
