Is it permissible to force a person to divorce by the authority?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If a man is forced to divorce his wife by the one in authority, does the divorce take effect?

The Shaykh : If a person is forced to divorce his wife by any party, the divorce does not take effect. No one among the authorities has the right to order a man to divorce his wife, just as he has no right to order him to eat a specific food, except if there is economic corruption and they want to conserve certain foods.
