The questioner : We see many young men, whether single, engaged without consummation, or proposing without a contract, who we hear swear with the phrase "I divorce you" more than once. Does this mean that it is counted against him, or what? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : What? Does it become what?
The questioner : Divorces are counted against him.
The Shaykh : And he is not married.
The questioner : Yes
The Shaykh : No, nothing is counted against him.
The questioner : Okay, what about being engaged without consummation?
