Ruling on a woman rejecting her husband after the marriage contract
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
This is a message received by the program from Iraq, from the Kirkuk Governorate, from the listener Zahra. She says in her message: A young man proposed to me and asked for my hand from my family, and the marriage contract was concluded with him. He bought me gold jewelry and furnished a complete house for me. On the wedding night, I rejected him; I do not know why, so he divorced me. Then another young man proposed to me, and we concluded the marriage contract, but on the wedding night I rejected him as well. I wanted a divorce from him, so he divorced me. I am now confused and do not know what to do, and I do not know why I am afraid of marriage. I hate all men. Perhaps my hatred of them is because when I leave our house to attend to some needs, I am subjected to cursing and abuse by men. So in my view, all men are nothing, indeed they are all of one kind, with respect to the good people among them. What should I do? Is there a sin on me for rejecting the two previous men with whom my marriage contract was concluded, or not? And what are the supplications that can be recited on the wedding night? Please advise us, may Allah reward you.
Answer: If the rejection of them was due to a hatred that occurred in the heart and a dislike that took hold in the heart that you could not suppress, then there is nothing on you. Allah is the One who gathers hearts . However, if it was merely negligence and following of desires, then you must repent to Allah for that; because seeking divorce without an excuse is a matter that is not permissible. It is obligatory for the woman not to seek divorce if there is no cause for seeking divorce. If a dislike for them and hatred for them descended upon you, such that you could not respond to entering with the first and the second due to the intense dislike that took hold in your heart until you were unable to, then this is something that overpowered you, and the matter is with Allah, and there is nothing on you in it. However, if it was merely negligence, and merely obeying Shaytan, this is not permissible. Rather, it is obligatory for the woman, if the marriage contract is concluded, to respond to entering and to enable her husband to have access to her, as Allah has prescribed.
Now, you must ask Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) to remove from your heart the dislike of good men, and to expand your chest for lawful marriage. Persist with Allah, and Allah loves persistence in supplication . He says: [Ghafir: 60]. So you must persist in supplication, and repeat the supplication in such times as prostration... in the last of the tashahhud... in the last of the night, at all times. You must ask Allah to expand your chest for marriage, and to remove from your heart the dislike of good men, and to make easy for you a righteous husband. And if that happens, you must respond to entering, and do not obey Shaytan in seeking divorce. We ask Allah for guidance and success for us and for you.
