Are the three mentioned marriages valid and their divorces valid, or are they considered fornication? Do the man's wife and the girl's parents have the right to prevent them from marrying? Did the girl wrong the man's wife by desiring him and marrying him? What should she do now to rectify her legal status and her desire for a valid marriage with this man?

The questioner's marriage to the man is Islamically invalid, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Any woman who marries herself without the permission of her guardian, her marriage is invalid, invalid, invalid." The fact that the marriage was secret further exacerbates the situation.

Despite the invalidity of this marriage, its rulings are binding. Thus, if he divorces her, the divorce takes effect. It is not permissible to toy with the religion by claiming that the marriage did not take place after the divorce, while it was considered valid before.

The fatwa referenced Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, who stated that whoever examines the validity of the contract after a divorce has transgressed the limits of Allah, and divorce takes effect in invalid or disputed marriages.

Based on this: - If the second divorce occurred after reconciliation from the first, then three divorces have occurred, and she is irrevocably divorced from him. It is not permissible for him to marry her again unless she marries another man in a valid marriage and then is divorced by him. - If the second divorce occurred before reconciliation from the first and before the expiry of the waiting period (iddah), the second divorce, according to the more preponderant opinion, does not take effect. In this case, only two divorces have occurred, and they can enter into a new marriage contract.

Finally, she must offer sincere repentance to Allah, so that Allah may mend her affliction and forgive her sin, as Allah Almighty says: (O you who have believed, if you fear Allah, He will grant you a criterion and remove from you your misdeeds and forgive you. And Allah is the possessor of great bounty).
