Is it possible for a woman to get married even if the stubborn husband will not give her Islamic divorce
Question
I would like to remarry, I have been separated from my husband for two years and he will not give me Islamic divorce, would it be possible for me to marry someone else in such a circumstance or do I need my husband to divorce me first? How can I make him give me an islamic divorce? he is too stubborn?
Answer
You cannot remarry until you obtain a divorce from your husband. The period of separation does not constitute a divorce. If your husband is spiteful in withholding the divorce, you may contact your local Ulama Body and request them to obtain the talaaq from him or annul the marriage. They will do so by following the Shariah Judicial procedures.
