What is the ruling on marrying a divorced woman, and is it necessary to inform the parents of this, and how can they be convinced of the necessity of expediting the marriage contract?

One must be cautious when speaking with a foreign woman. However, if she is religious and of good character, then marrying her is a good thing and protects one's chastity. It is the best guidance for those who love each other. The fact that a woman is divorced is not a flaw and does not prevent marrying her, nor is it necessary to inform her family of this. Studying is not an impediment to marriage for one who is capable of providing financially. If marriage is facilitated, then it is good; otherwise, one must divert one's attention from her. It is not advisable to prolong the engagement period and delay marriage to avoid problems.
