The answer

It is an abomination for two men to enter a woman's house to abduct her, and the woman is sinful if she consents. Her family is not permitted to kill her, even if she commits indecency, because the implementation of hudud (punishments) is the prerogative of the ruler. A woman is permitted to marry after four years have passed since her husband's disappearance and after the (waiting period) of death (four months and ten days) has expired. She then becomes the wife of the second man, outwardly and inwardly. If the first husband returns after her marriage, he is given the choice between her and her mahr (dowry).
