Is it injustice to divorce without a convincing reason?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Many young men divorce their wives after a short period of marriage, saying, "I do not love her," or "I do not like her complexion." Is this considered injustice if there is no convincing reason?

Answer:
Backbiting is forbidden for him; this is backbiting. He should pray for her to be covered and for her well-being.
However, if someone consults him about wanting to marry her, he should advise him based on what he knows, because it is advice.
Q: He stays with her for a month, two months, three months, or a year, then says, "I do not love her; I want to divorce her." Is he being unjust in divorcing her, or not?
A: This depends on his situation and hers. If he sees the benefit in divorcing her, he divorces her, as this concerns his benefit.
Q: To confirm his statement, he says, "She is attached to me?"
A: Even if so, he looks at the benefit. If there is benefit in keeping her, he keeps her. If the benefit for him lies in divorcing her, he divorces her. He knows himself best, and he knows his situation with her best.
