What is the Sharia ruling on a wife divorcing her current husband to return to her former husband who divorced her with three pronouncements?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A woman's marriage without her guardian's consent is invalid.

Communicating with the ex-husband is a betrayal of marital trust and is considered perversion and ingratitude for the blessing of a righteous husband.

Problems in marital understanding can be resolved, and disobedience (such as communicating with another man) may be a reason for deprivation of sustenance and goodness.

It is not permissible for a woman to request a divorce except for a valid reason, and requesting it without a reason is forbidden by شرعًا (Islamic law).

It is forbidden for a man to corrupt a woman against her husband; such a corrupting person is deficient in faith and sinful.

Communication with the ex-husband must be cut off immediately, repentance must be made, his data deleted, and the current husband treated well, for if the man were upright, he would not have initiated a conversation with her.
