What is the ruling on marrying a young man after the iddah (waiting period) has expired, given a previous relationship based on understanding and waiting, and does this relationship affect the validity of the marriage after an irrevocable divorce?
A husband is not permitted to abandon his wife unless she is disobedient. The maintenance of the wife and child is obligatory upon the husband and does not lapse with the passage of time. The wife has the right to claim back from her husband what she spent on her child with the intention of claiming it back. If the court rules for your divorce, it is an irrevocable divorce, and once the waiting period () is over, you are permitted to marry. You must end your relationship with your colleague. It is forbidden to explicitly or implicitly express a desire to marry a married woman. Some circumstances in the question require clarification from the husband, and it is better to consult scholars or the Sharia court.
