What is the ruling on marriage with the intention of divorce?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner insisted on presenting his question and says: I know some students who prepare during the summer vacation to travel to East Asian countries for the purpose of marriage with the intention of divorce, where when the vacation ends, they divorce the women and return to their countries. Is this action permissible? Is it from the Shari'ah? And is it true that its permissibility is attributed to Your Eminence, Shaykh Ibn Baz?

Answer:
No, this is not attributed to the Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him). This manipulation is never attributed to the Shaykh. The one who goes and takes his money, spending every night or every hour with one woman, then divorces and takes his money, is a lustful person. His aim is lust, not marriage. This is not called a lawful marriage; it is corruption under the name of marriage, corruption and the squandering of offspring and the squandering of chastity under the name of marriage. This is forbidden and not permissible. I do not think anyone says it is permissible, because this is playing with the marriage contract and satisfying lust through a trick, the trick of marriage. They know, when they are with her and her family, that it is not a marriage, but rather for the purpose of taking the money and satisfying lust only, but they called it marriage.
