Three years ago my father had forced me  into marriage with man whom I do not like. I was fortressed in home for  over a month and nobody would see me until the day they brought the man  and forced the marriage upon me. Everything was against my will God  truly knows that. After marriage we did not establish marital  relationship. I think God was with me all the while until I availed the  chance to escape from him. It has been three years since I escaped from  him.<\/p>\n<div>I  have developed liking for a Muslim boy and we want to be married. Can  we enter into this marriage contract without obtaining divorce from my  husband? This I ask because we have not been married in the true sense  of the relationship and it was forced upon me at the first place and I  never received anything from him not the dowry or any properties not  even a wedding ring. I have fear of upon my life from that man. <\/div>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>I feel real sorry on  the plight you are facing. May Allah deliver you from this state and  grant you life full of peace and content. You have asked whether you  could enter into a new marriage knot without officially breaking the  previous one. I am afraid I would not recommend it. Even if you were  forced to enter into a marriage contract against all your will they must  have got your consent and you must have signed the marriage papers. Now  unless you get a divorce from the previous husband you should not enter  into a new contract. It would be safe and in conformity with legal and  moral principles that you turn to a competent court of justice and file  for a divorce. We pray to the Almighty that he smoothes the way for you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-03-07<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"5864\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I  have a very important question.
