Does the divorce of a man afflicted with vascular dementia who cannot sleep or concentrate take effect, especially if his divorce certificate was issued without verifying his condition?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If a divorce is issued by a responsible, chosen husband who is not coerced or overcome by his mental faculties, it is effective, even if he is psychologically or neurologically ill. If a man divorces while being aware, his divorce is valid. But if he is overcome by his mental faculties, his divorce is not effective. However, since the judge has issued the divorce decree, if you believe that the judge did not ascertain the true condition of the husband, then you must return to the court to decide on the matter.
