Swearing that every woman he marries will be divorced


537

Q: A man swore that every woman he marries will be divorced. What is the ruling on this case?


A: Making Talaq (divorce pronounced by a husband) contingent on something before getting married is not effective, according to the soundest opinion of scholars. This is based on the Hadith related by Al-Tirmidhy as a Hadith Hasan (good Hadith) where the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "There is no Talaq (Part No. 20; Page No. 193) before marriage is concluded." May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet, his family, and Companions.
