Is it obligatory to forgo holding a wedding ceremony despite realizing the probability of divorce after a long period, taking into consideration the husband's attempt to secure the wife's future in the event of separation?
The husband is advised to reconsider his stance and not succumb to negative thoughts, and to treat his wife with kindness, as Allah Almighty says: "And live with them in kindness. For if you dislike them - perhaps you dislike a thing and Allah makes therein much good." The wife is also advised to show affection to her husband, meet his emotional needs, and be a good companion to him. If the husband remains committed to his wife and refrains from divorce, it is best to proceed with the wedding; otherwise, it is better not to rush it, because divorce before consummation is less harmful. It is necessary to consult people of sound judgment and perform Istikhara (prayer for guidance) before making a decision.
