The ruling on one who swore that his wife would not attend a wedding, but she did attend it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I swore to my wife that she would not attend the wedding of my maternal aunt’s daughter, or her maternal aunt’s daughter, and I told her: If you attend, you will not sit with me in the house again. However, when I traveled from Yemen to Saudi Arabia, I learned that she had attended this wedding, knowing that it was in another country. What is my position? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
If you intended divorce, and that she is thereby divorced, then one divorce takes place. But if you did not intend divorce, and only intended to frighten her and warn her, then nothing is required of you, except that you must pay the expiation for an oath.
