The questioner : May Allah reward you, O honorable Shaykh.
If a woman is forced into marriage and we say that the marriage contract is defective, what is the ruling on the children?
The Shaykh : If the husband knows that the marriage contract is defective, his sexual intercourse is forbidden, and the children are not his, because he believes they were born from what is forbidden. However, if the husband is unaware of this, the children are attributed to him because they are the result of intercourse based on a doubtful matter.
