The question

Is the marriage to a girl whose virginity was forcibly taken invalid, meaning does she have any rights? Is it considered an atonement for sin? Is it permissible to divorce her, taking into consideration the family's refusal of the marriage and the inability to bear the expenses of a second wife's house if she stops working?

The answer

Sincere repentance is necessary for the defloration that occurred, and it is advisable to consult fatwas related to breaking the hymen and its consequences. As for the marriage, there is a difference of opinion regarding its validity if it occurred before repentance and purification. The condition from the first wife to divorce the second is invalid. Obedience to parents in divorcing her is not obligatory unless there is a legitimate reason. It is not permissible for your wife to work without your permission, unless this was stipulated before marriage. You should seek a way to keep her under your marital bond.
