The answer

The does not prohibit marriage to a divorced woman. The young man should convince his parents to accept the one he hopes to marry. If they agree, then praise be to Allah. If not, he is not permitted to disobey them, for their obedience is an obligation upon him, whereas his marriage is not an obligation, unless there is a justification for disobedience. The divorced woman has her material rights, such as the mahr (dower) and maintenance, among others. There is no difference between her and a woman who has not been previously married concerning rights and obligations.
