Is it permissible to divorce one's wife before consummating the marriage, due to the husband's feeling of indifference towards her and his remembrance of his previous wife? And is this considered an injustice to the wife, given that she has committed no wrong?
Adhere to contentment with Allah's decree and destiny, for everything Allah decrees for the believer is good, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Wondrous is the affair of the believer, for all his affairs are good for him..." So, what Allah diverted from you concerning marriage to the woman you loved is good for you, even if it appears otherwise to you, for Allah Almighty says: "And perhaps you dislike a thing and it is good for you." Do not rush to divorce your current wife; for discomfort may disappear with companionship and the passage of days. If you cannot bear that and fear wronging her, then there is no sin in divorcing her while fulfilling all her rights, for the basic ruling on divorce is permissibility.
