There are thousands of worlds, there are no wonders. A Saudi man secretly married a woman 6 years ago behind his family's back, and the two had a child after the marriage. Now, the man intends to take his wife to see his parents, only to find out that his wife was once married to his father, and he now has to divorce the other party.
Not long ago, Abdullah Mutrak, an adviser to the Royal Court of Saudi Arabia and a member of the High Academic Council, issued a sharia order on a case that attracted public attention, a man unknowingly married his father's ex-wife and had a child. The inquisition stipulates that the man must divorce his wife, and their son is legal, but the marriage is not legal.
The young man married a woman 6 years ago without telling his family. 6 years later, he decided to tell his family. He brought the latter to his house and introduced her to the family. Seeing his son's wife, the man's father was shocked. He said he had a Misyar marriage with his son's wife 10 years ago and broke up with her after a while.
Misyar marriage is a type of marriage contract in Sunni Islam. Misyar marriage is a short-lived institution of marriage. The couple does not live together, and the husband is not responsible for supporting his wife.
When many women find it increasingly difficult to get married as they get older, they sometimes choose this type of marriage. In this case, the husband chosen by the woman is unable to fulfill normal marital obligations, such as financially or having enough time to accompany her.
In Islam, the ex-wives of fathers and grandfathers are not allowed to marry sons and grandchildren, regardless of whether they have children for the father and grandfather.
