What is the ruling on marriage with the intention of divorce for someone residing in a foreign country, and what is its ruling for an Egyptian who marries with the intention of divorce in order to travel with his wife, then divorces her upon returning to Egypt?

Marriage with the intention of divorce — without stipulating it in the contract — is a matter of scholarly disagreement. The majority view is that it is valid and permissible, while some scholars deem it invalid. Others consider it valid but forbidden, like the view of Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen, because it involves deception of the wife and her family. There is no difference in its ruling between marrying women from another country or from one's own country to travel with them. It is advised not to harbor the intention of divorce at all, to avoid deception and disagreement.
