Umdat at-TalibAl-Buhuti

Section (1)
If she stipulates the divorce of her co-wife, or that he will neither marry another woman nor take a concubine over her, or that he will not remove her from her town or her house, the condition is valid, and she may annul the marriage if he does not honor it.

If a guardian marries off his ward to a man on condition that the man in turn marry the guardian’s other ward to him without a dowry, and they proceed accordingly, both marriages are invalid; but if, by way of a legal device, each bride is assigned a non-trivial dowry (2), both marriages are valid.

If a man marries a woman on the stipulation that, once he has made her lawful for the first husband, he will divorce her, or if he secretly intends that without stating it, the marriage is invalid—just like a temporary marriage (mutʿah) or a marriage suspended on a future condition.

Section
If he stipulates that she shall have no dowry, no maintenance, no share of nights, a lesser share than her co-wife, an option to dissolve, or that if he does not bring the dowry by a set time there will be no marriage between them, and the like, the condition itself is void while the marriage remains valid.

If he stipulates that she be Muslim but she turns out to be from the People of the Book, or that she be a virgin, beautiful, (3) of noble lineage, or if he denies a defect such as blindness and she is found otherwise, he has the right to annul.

Any woman who is emancipated while married to a slave likewise has the option of annulment (4) so long as she has not allowed him intercourse—even if she was unaware of the ruling.

(1) In copies B and C the reading is: "bab" (chapter). (2) In copy A the reading is: "halilah" (wife). (3) The passage enclosed in brackets is missing from the base manuscript, and I have supplied it from copy B. (4) The sentence "wa-man ‘utiqat tahta raqiq kullihi fa-laha al-fas kh" (and any woman who is emancipated while married to a slave in his entirety, she may annul the marriage) is absent from copy A.
فصلٌ (١) إنْ شَرطت طَلاقَ ضَرَّتها، أو أن لا يتزوَّج أو يَتَسَرَّى عليها، أو ألَّا يُخْرِجها مِنْ بَلَدِهَا أو دَارِها صَحَّ، ولها الفسخُ إن لم يَفِ. وإن زَوَّجه وليته على أن يُزَوّجه الآخر وليته ولا مَهْر ففعلا بَطَلَ النّكاحَانِ، وإن سُمَّي لكلٍّ مهرٌ غيرُ قليل حِيلةً (٢) صَحَّ. وإن تزوَّجَها بشرطِ أنَّه متى أحلَّها للأوَّل طلَّقها أو نَوَاهُ بِلا شَرْطٍ لم يَصِح كنِكَاحِ مُتْعَةٍ ومُعَلَّق بشرط مستقبل. فصلٌ وإن شَرَط أن لا مَهر لها، أو لا نَفَقَة أو لا قَسْمَ أو أقل من ضَرَّتها أو خِياراً فيه، أو إنْ جاء بالمهر وَقْتَ كذا وإلا فلا نكاح بينهما، ونحوه، بَطَلَ الشرطُ وصَحَّ النِّكَاح. وإن شَرَطَهَا مسلمةَ فبانت كِتَابِيَّة، أو شَرَطَهَا بِكراً أو جميلة [أو] (٣) نَسِيبَة، أو نفى نحو عَوَر فبانت بخلافه فلهُ الفسخُ، ومن عَتَقَتْ تحتَ رَقِيقٍ كله فلها الفسخ (٤) ما لم تُمَكِّنْه مِنْ نَفْسِهَا وَلَوْ جاهِلةً.
(١) في (ب) و (ج): "بابٌ". (٢) في (أ): "حليلة". (٣) ما بين المعقوفتين ساقطٌ من (الأصل)، وأثبتّه من (ب). (٤) هذه الجملة "ومن عتقت تحت رقيق كله فلها الفسخ" ساقطة من (أ).
