Salam Alaikum sister,

One Piece of Advice...

Although what the brother has said is absolutely correct please make sure that what you’re doing is "legal" in ur home country. I have a friend who decided to get married after 2 yrs of separation from his previous wife. He's French/Algerian...being that he's a Muslim, he didn't have to wait for the divorce to be finalized and he re-married here in Qatar. That was well and good here, but since it's illegal to take a second wife in France, his ex sued him and he ended up in court....it's resolved now of course, but just make sure that ur covered "legally" in ur home country because some countries do not recognize islamic laws as legal.

And best of luck with ur future life together inshallah.
