Divorcing a woman one was forced to marry

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

I want to ask on the behalf of my friend.

His mother and siblings enforced him to marry but he didn’t interested in her in anyway. Now he wants to divorce her because he don’t want to expoil her and his life with this enforced relationshgip. Is that permissible because in this way their iman can weak and till now he didn’t accept her is as his wife , imean didn’t touch her. Many months have passed. 

Answer

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

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

Your question is ambiguous. According to our understanding of your query, the marriage already took place[1] and your friend intends divorcing his wife. If our understanding is correct, your friend should discuss the issue with a senior and respectable member of his family and seek his wise counsel on the issue. He should not hasten in making a decision.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
