Question
question?
Answer
If the conditions and procedures of the legal court marriage are not according to the Shari?ah laws of performing a Nikah. The marriage will not be valid according to Shari?ah, hence, there is no need for divorce.
We also advise that conducting a legal marriage merely to qualify for any legal status is incorrect.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
