Husband giving his wife the right of talaaq
Q: I am married for 27 years. During July 2025 my spouse stated that if I want my talaaq I must take it and go. I was seated and immediately accepted the talaaq whilst we were in the same room. What really got my attention was his facial feature or realization of what he had done. He was standing, walked out of the room thereafter and said he will give the talaaq the proper way with an aalim.
I have sought advice from the apa in my area. He denies having given the talaq and according to the advice she states he did not have any intention and therefore his word is accepted. What would be the ruling in such circumstance?
My spouse has over the years given me talaaqs and also told me to get out of his house many times. This was the first occasion I accepted the talaq without leaving the room. We were previously advised by an aalim attempting to mediate the effects of using the word talaq. My spouse is therefore aware of the effects of his words.
