Refusing a proposal due to concerns regarding the family's chastity and modesty
Question
Would it be wise to marry my first cousin whose sister got divorced but his family sent her back with her ex-husband (who actually orally gave her talaaq 3 times) knowing the ex-husband had given his sister divorce? She is now living with her ex-husband and his family. Thus frustrates me and her brother has asked for my proposal.
Answer
Your concerns are valid. There is no respect for modesty and chastity. How can you be comfortable in such a home?
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
