The answer

It is not permissible to fraudulently obtain a divorcee's pension if the condition for its eligibility is that the woman is truly divorced. This is considered illicit gain (suht) and consuming people's wealth unlawfully, and it violates the words of Allah Almighty: "O you who have believed, do not consume one another's wealth unjustly." Furthermore, Muslims are bound by their conditions, and a jocular divorce is valid. Therefore, the husband should seek lawful provision, and both spouses should frequently supplicate and have good expectations of Allah. For indeed, fearing Allah is a cause for an exit from difficulties and for provision.
