Marriage with the Intention of Divorce

Marriage with the intention to divorce

Shaykh Saalih ibn Fowzaan al-Fowzaan

What is the ruling regarding marriage with the intention to divorce, bearing in mind there is no such agreement between the man and the woman, and the woman is unaware of this (i.e. that she is entering a marriage where the man intends - from the outset - to divorce her)?

This is deception on the part of the husband. She did not marry him upon this (intention), (rather), she married him on the basis that this will be a lasting marriage. So if he conceals this intention, then he has deceived her. Deception is not permissible, (and) marriage with the intention to divorce is not permissible for that which entails therein (much) evil and corruption. Now, those who travel to the Far East and get married every night, they marry and divorce, marry and divorce – much evil and corruption has ensued from that, so this is not permissible.

    Where is the woman's self worth if she does this? She had none to begin with. So used to being used and behaving like those filthy men all in the name of "it being halal" as long as they are married. It's a sickness I pray Allaah saves us from and cures those who are inflicted, aameen.

    When I was newbie Muslimah and sharing my new faith with a dear friend since childhood, the topic of polygany came up and she had the nerve to say it's not fair (or something like that) that a man can have up to 4 wives but a woman can't have up to 4 husbands? Uh, nasty. Why would any woman in her right mind want to be used like a waste receptacle?

    It's equally as nasty for men to do this with such ill intent, however, their bodies are suited to deal with multiple partners (halal of course) & still they need to be careful so as not to become a vehicle for stds which women are more receptive to.

  4. Mashaa Allaah...I agree. You know I think the same exact thing when women say why can't we have more than one husband. It is indeed a sickness backed by evil desires. Ameen to your dua'a.
