Is Mut'ah Allowed If My Husband Refuses to Divorce Me?
I have a genuine question and would appreciate respectful answers, especially from those knowledgeable about Sistani fiqh.
I am a 34-year-old woman who has been separated from my husband since 2021. He refuses to grant me a divorce, even though there are not chances of us to connect again.
I’ve had good a marriage proposal, but because the man weren’t Syed, I’ve been expected to keep waiting. At this point, I’m exhausted. Sometimes I seriously consider going through the judicial process to obtain a divorce and then marrying whoever I choose. I can’t put my life on hold forever.
Given these circumstances, I sometimes fear being driven toward something that may not be allowed. Is mut’ah permissible for someone in my situation just to avoid attempting a sin while I am still religiously married to a husband who refuses to divorce me and he himself already married to a woman? Or is it completely prohibited until the marriage is formally dissolved?
I just want to avoid sin and understand the correct ruling.
