There is no term in called "bid'i marriage" (innovated marriage). Marriage is either valid, if its conditions and pillars are met, or it is void/corrupt if they are not met. As for divorce, it is divided into (prophetic) divorce (which occurs during a period of purity in which no intercourse took place, or during pregnancy) and bid'i (innovated) divorce (which occurs during menstruation or a period of purity in which intercourse took place). Bid'i divorce is valid, but the one who pronounces it incurs a sin.
