Is it permissible for a man to divorce his wife after her death? And is it permissible for a wife to stipulate in her will that her husband divorces her while she is on her deathbed or after her death, because she does not wish him to be her husband in the Afterlife due to the pain and injustice he caused her?

A man divorcing his wife after her death is invalid, as is a wife writing in her will that her husband should divorce her after her death; neither has any effect. A woman should not spoil the reward of her patience with pessimism and discontent, for she might die after her husband or marry another. If a woman marries more than one man, in the hereafter she will be with the last of them, or the one with the best character.
