Accepted Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.

In a marriage which is invalid by consensus, such as a marriage to a Mahram, a divorce does not occur (i.e. marriage is nullified without divorce). In a marriage about which the validity is disagreed, such as a marriage without a guardian, divorce does occur.

For more benefit, please refer to Fatwa 243013.

Allaah Knows best.
