What is the ruling concerning a husband who married a woman to satisfy his desire to experience sexual intercourse, then divorced her after less than four months, knowing that he began to declare his desire for divorce from the second week of the marriage?

Islam legislated marriage for the purpose of seeking offspring, safeguarding one's chastity, and forming a Muslim family that worships Allah, not merely for sexual gratification. The wife has rights upon her husband, including financial support and kind companionship. Divorce is disliked unless there is a need for it, and some scholars have gone so far as to deem it forbidden without need due to the harm it inflicts upon the wife. Marriage with the intention of divorce is a matter of scholarly disagreement.
