Is it permissible for a woman who has been administratively divorced, without her husband uttering the divorce, to marry another man?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Divorce is not considered valid unless it is issued by the husband, his代理, the judge, or whoever acts on his behalf. Consequently, the wife remains under her husband's authority, and it is not permissible for her to marry. However, if the Sharia judiciary issues a final divorce decree, then the divorce takes effect, and the wife is permitted to marry after her waiting period () ends.
