Question

Does Islam allow one to marry to non muslim or muslim girl just to seek visa settlement and make a deal with her and pay her for that. After getting the visa the matter is finished. The marriage is just in papers.

Answer

This is not in keeping with the dignity of a Muslim.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
