Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

You state you married secretly over the phone and your parents did not know and probably do not know of the marriage till now.

You also state you made a mistake by giving her a divorce.

What about the mistake of marrying secretly and not informing your parents. A loyal son will always consider the feelings of his parents and be open to them. Imagine the feelings of your parents when they know how you cheated on them and didn’t even inform them on such an important aspect of your life.

Nevertheless, in order for us to answer your query please answer the following question:

  1. How exactly did the marriage on the phone take place?

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
