The answer

If the marriage contract has been concluded, the fiancée is a wife, and she is not obliged to move in with the husband if she stipulated a delay in cohabitation and the husband agreed. The husband's request for his wife to move in before the agreed-upon date is a mistake, and his divorce of her before consummation ends the marital relationship between them, and he cannot take her back except with a new contract and dowry. Obeying parents when they do not see the suitor as suitable is important, especially with valid reasons. It is natural for a woman to become attached to her husband, and she can love another husband. The consent of the woman's guardian is a condition for the validity of the marriage contract, and it is not permissible to establish a relationship with the ex-husband. A woman should occupy herself with what benefits her, learn from the previous experience before marrying again, and ensure the religion and character of the new suitor.
