Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-Uthaymeen raahimahullaah was
asked in his Majmoo’ Fataawaa vol. 2, page 53:
Q: If a woman had two husbands in this world, who will she be with – out of
the two of them (in the Hereafter)? And why did Allaah mention the wives for
the men and He did not mention the husbands for the women (of Paradise)?
A: If a woman were to have two husbands in this world then
she is given a choice between them on the Day of Resurrection, in Paradise.
And if she did not marry in this world then Allaah the Most
High causes her to get married in Paradise to someone that is pleasing to her
eye.
So the bliss of Paradise is not restricted to the males, rather
it is for the males and the females. And from that bliss is marriage.
As for the questioner’s saying: “Allaah the Most High mentioned the
Hoorul-‘Een (fair maidens with large, beautiful eyes) and they
are wives (for the men), but He did not mention husbands for the women.”
Then we say: The wives were mentioned for the husbands
because the husband he is the one who requests and desires the woman. Due to this the wives were mentioned for the men in Paradise, and (due to this) the husbands for the women were
not made mention of.
However this does not mean that they will not have
husbands, rather they will have husbands from the sons of Aadam.
