What is the ruling on a suspended divorce prior to the marriage contract, and does the condition take effect if it occurs after the marriage?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Divorce is valid only when pronounced by the husband. Therefore, it is not valid before the marriage contract is finalized, whether immediate or conditional. If a man makes a woman's divorce conditional on an event and then marries her, the divorce does not occur when the condition is met, because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "There is no divorce concerning that which one does not own."
