Q: I married a Saudi woman who bore me two sons. We lived together for five years during which I divorced her twice. During the last days of her `Iddah (woman's prescribed waiting period after divorce), some people tried to reconcile us, but I refused. In their second attempt, I swore by Allah, the Great, other than Whom there is no deity, the Knower of the Unseen and the witnessed, that I do not take her back in marriage. Additionally, I made a vow that I should pay one million riyals if I do. All attempts to make reconciliation were in vain. She married another man who divorced her after she bore him a son. Many people advised me to remarry her for the sake of the children. Now, I wish to remarry her, but I took an oath and made a vow never to do so. Please tell me what to do, as I am confused.
