What are the advantages or disadvantages of marrying a divorced woman?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If a divorced woman is religious, there is no objection to marrying her. In fact, she might be better than others because she has experience with married life and has become more attentive to her home and husband. And if a man has children, she is preferable due to her experience in raising children. Nevertheless, Islamic law encourages marrying virgins, because they possess special qualities.
