| Question ID 5465 - Marriage - 2021-07-13 02:03:06 |
| I am from Singapore and I have a girlfriend whom I intend to marry and she is from the Philippines. She was a Catholic and married to a man from Iran who was there to pursue his studies. Their marriage was not in the form of Islam. They had a civil marriage in the country. However, after a couple of years he went back to Iran and did not return. Neither was he in constant contact with her. In Philippines they do not have divorce, it is only annulment. This process may take years for it to have an verdict. The representing lawyer asked to pay the judge out of court inorder to expedite the process but we declined as we see it as a bribery and it is a sin in Islam.Since the marriage was not in the form of Islam is it considered valid in Islam? Can I marry her first while the case is still on going in court? Few years ago she has converted to Islam while working in Singapore. I am confused how to purse this matter. Please advise

Answer:- Wa Alaykum Assalam wr wb
If they were married, what type of marriage they had between them? Talaq is
must if there was a valid marriage. If no marriage then no question of
Talaq.
If they were living in sin, then no marriage.
Wassalam.
