What is the ruling on marriage with the intention of divorce if the man is traveling and will marry with the intention of divorcing her upon his return to his country?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Some scholars hold that marriage with the intention of divorce is invalid because it is a temporary marriage, akin to mut'ah marriage. Others, however, consider it valid but forbidden due to deception and fraud, and that the intention here is treated as an explicit condition. The Fiqh Academy views its prohibition due to its inclusion of deception and fraud, and the corruptions it leads to. In all cases, it is forbidden and oscillates between invalidity and prohibition.
