Can one divorce a woman before Nikah please tell me what is ruling according to Hanafi fiqh.
Answer
Divorce is to terminate a marriage. If there is no marriage, there is simply no divorce. However, if the divorce was conditional on the marriage, then its validity depends upon the type of the condition.
And Allah Taãla Knows Best.
