Does divorce take place under threat?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is divorce permissible under threat, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Close the door properly, on the right and the left.
The student : Close the door.
The Shaykh : Yes, okay.
The questioner : A man married a woman who has three brothers. The legal guardian forced them to agree to the marriage, or the two younger ones—the youngest being younger than the legal guardian—objected to the marriage, and this husband threatened them with death, or threatened the wife, saying that if it does not happen, the divorce will take place, and the matter will become normal between them.
The Shaykh : I mean the eldest guardian.
The questioner : The eldest legal guardian.
The Shaykh : She says, "Listen, I heard from you, so my reward from you is that you listen to me as well. Do you understand?"
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : I understood from you that the eldest guardian agreed to the marriage. Do you mean that the contract was concluded?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Or was it not concluded?
The questioner : It was concluded.
The Shaykh : It was concluded. So your question is: Did the husband divorce her against her will because of the threat of one of the younger guardians?
The questioner : No, he did not divorce her, but a threat was made.
The Shaykh : A threat was made. So what are you asking about, since it did not take place?
The questioner : If the divorce had taken place.
The Shaykh : It does not take place.
The questioner : It does not take place.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Even if it was under threat, it does not take place?
The Shaykh : Do not say "even," because there is nothing else for you to say "even" about; it is only the threat.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So I told you that this divorce does not take place.
The questioner : It does not take place.
The Shaykh : Any divorce of one who is coerced does not take place.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Do you understand?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: All right.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Close the door properly, on the right and the left.
The student : Close the door.
