The Requirement of a Guardian in Marrying Off His Daughter
What is the ruling on a guardian who stipulates that in marrying off his daughter, the possibility of divorcing her must be in writing and not verbally?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: Divorce is the exclusive right of the husband, and it occurs verbally; it does not need to be written down, and such a condition, if written, has no value; for divorce occurs by speech, and writing in court is only for documentation, and God knows best.
