Is it valid for a divorce to be issued by the court without the husband's presence, given that the husband desires the divorce and has authorized his wife's family to file a divorce lawsuit, knowing that he has not uttered the oath of divorce and has given her all her rights?
The fundamental principle is that divorce is valid only when pronounced by a legally competent and willing husband. However, there are cases where divorce becomes effective by a judge's ruling without the husband's pronouncement. For example, if a wife requests a divorce due to harm and the husband refuses, the judge may pronounce the divorce on his behalf, and it becomes effective.
