Divorce of People with Mental Condition and Insane Ones and their Guardian

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي خَالِدٍ الْقَمَّاطِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فِي طَلَاقِ الْمَعْتُوهِ قَالَ يُطَلِّقُ عَنْهُ وَلِيُّهُ فَإِنِّي أَرَاهُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْإِمَامِ .
7. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Muhammad ibn Sinan from abu Khalid al-Qammat who has said the following: “About the case of a man suffering from a mental condition, abu ‘ Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘His guardian divorces for him because I see him like the Imam (for him).”’
