He divorced her but did not send her the divorce papers
Question: 10209
Her husband divorced her and the ‘iddah came to an end, but she cannot get the divorce papers from the Islamic centre or get any proof of the divorce from the courts in the city to which she has moved. Is it permissible for her to remarry?
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
We
put this question to Shaykh ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Jibreen, may Allaah preserve
him, who answered as follows:
She
should ask for an annulment of the marriage in the city where she has
moved to, on the grounds that her husband is absent and is not sending her
any money to live on. This annulment will take the place of a divorce. And
Allaah knows best.
