Is divorce in all cases forbidden or permissible, and is the husband sinful if he divorces his wife for the reasons mentioned in the question?

The default ruling for divorce is prohibition, as it goes against the objective of Islamic law, which is to foster affection and love between spouses. It is also considered one of the greatest actions of the devils, which aim to separate a man from his wife. However, it can be obligatory, recommended, permissible, or disliked.

Divorce becomes obligatory when reconciliation between the spouses is impossible, or when the wife is negligent concerning her honor, or when the husband is unable to fulfill her rights.

It is recommended if the wife has bad manners or if there is an aversion to her.

It is permissible when there is a desire for polygyny without the ability to do so, or due to a natural aversion.

It is disliked when the wife is upright and of good character, or when there are children whose well-being is feared, or due to her poverty and being a stranger (away from her family).

If the wife acknowledges her negative past and repents, and the husband accepts that, then the virginity certificate should not change his view of her; rather, it should confirm her truthfulness. If doubt persists and causes family problems, then divorce becomes a solution, with a gracious release.
