Asking the husband for a divorce

Q: I found explicit chats on my husband's phone, him having an affair with a woman, the chats consisted of 'are we meeting tonight" "thanks for last night" she would say things like "please pay my accounts for me" he would say "send me the details" etc, she sent him pictures of her private parts there was no shame in that, I found out and I exposed him, however I want a talaaq and now the community moulana is saying that I need three witnesses in order to say he was cheating. I have all the chats. They were not discreet in any way, how do I go about this?

A: The better thing is speak to your husband and ask him to give you a divorce. Since the confidence has broken down, it is pointless remaining in this marriage.

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