The Ruling on Marriage During the Waiting Period
A woman was separated from her husband for a month, and when he returned to her, she asked for a divorce, and he divorced her. During the waiting period, she married another man, and she began counting her waiting period from the time her husband was absent from her. She has given birth to a child from her second husband. Is this marriage valid? And is her calculation for the beginning of the waiting period correct?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The waiting period is calculated from the time of divorce, not from the time of separation. The contract with the second husband took place during the waiting period, which is not correct, and it must be renewed. God knows best.
