Is the wife considered divorced after a court ruling of divorce before consummation, with her father continuing to reject the relationship, and is the continuation of the relationship between the spouses after this ruling and before the family's acceptance considered adultery, and what is the solution in this situation?

A court's ruling resolves disputes, and a judge's ruling of divorce constitutes an irrevocable divorce (طلاق بائن), which does not permit what Allah has forbidden. Consummation of the marriage (al- al-shar'iyya) obligates the full Mahr, and the guardian (wali) is a condition for the validity of the marriage contract (). It is obligatory to improve one's treatment of the wife, and to repent for what transpired after the divorce. It is advised to consult the scholars of the country.
