Q 2: I married a woman, then I doubted that she was a virgin. I asked her to tell me the truth
and I vowed by Allah's Book not to divorce her, no matter how difficult the truth was. She confessed that she had been raped before. Later on, I lost interest in her
and could not stand living with her. I divorced her, despite the promise I gave her. Later, she got married to another man. What should I do concerning my promise?
A:
Firstly, you have to make Kaffarah (expiation) for breaking your oath, which is to feed ten needy persons (Part No. 23; Page No. 115) on a scale of the average of that with which you feed your own family, to clothe them, or to free a believing slave. If you cannot afford any of that, you should fast for three days.Secondly, you should have either concealed her past and probed not into it after getting married to her or divorced her without compelling her to recall the past.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
