Talaaq

Q: A husband tells his wife after an argument: ‘’From today H.M and M.A are divorced.’’ He does not say that ‘I am giving you Talaaq’. He says this to her on the telephone and he sends her a message on her cell phone. H.R refers to the wife’s full name and surname and M.A refers to the husband’s full name and surname. In addition, the wife is 3 weeks pregnant. Does Talaaq become effective? What is the shariah ruling and can reconciliation be allowed if the above statement is regarded as two talaaqs? 

Q: I know a woman who have married with a man who already married two women and he didn't tell the truth, after some time this man beat his wife and treated her badly, at last he decided to kill her. When this woman sensed it she left her husband with out telling him to germany. After 3 years this woman married another boy but her ex-husband didn't give divorce and the wife also didn't take khula. During the 3 years the ex-husband didn't give nafaqah and didn't even search for her. Now is the second nikaah valid for this woman.

Note: The ex-husband by his wish did an operation not to have children and her ex-husband was not ready to talk and was just by name Muslim. This women told him so many times to leave her and she doesn't want anything from him but the husband said that I will take you to my brothers home and will leave you there for ever.

Q: If a husband out of anger says he does not want you anymore, does this mean talaaq. If it is, what should be done?

Q: My husband and I have been experiencing marital problems for quite some time now with no resolve. As a result, I have written out 3 talaaqs and asked him to sign the paper on which I wrote the words : "I 'husbands full name' hereby give 'wifes full name' a talaaq." Only under the first one did he write his name but no signature acknowledging that all 3 are valid. Is this talaaq valid? If so, how many have been given, and also, what should my next course of action as wife be?

Q: I have been given 2 talaqs on the 23 Nov 2012 but now my husband and I would like to reconcile but I want to know how soon should we reconcile. Is there an expiry period after a woman has been given 2 talaqs? 

Q: If talaaq is said once do you only have two more left how does it work?

Q: There is a couple known to me who have a peculiar situation. The wife claims that the man has pronounced the third talaq and the husband claims that he has not. There were no witnesses. Both are prepared to take oath on the subject. Is the talaaq then valid? The woman has moved to her fathers home and refuses to accept that there was no talaq. Any light on the subject will be helpful.

Q: My husband in anger said three times I divorce you and then same day he said I want to keep you as a wife, it was a mistake in anger. It was not by heart. What should I do?

Q: I would like to discuss a very sensitive Talaq Issue regarding my parents. This happened 3 years ago. I have had ask couple of sunni ulemas online they have said talaq has taken place twice but I would like to get your fatwa regarding this please. My parents were discussing about moving house. My mother disagreed and said 'I will become a single mother and live alone'. In response to that my father replied 'phair may tinnu talaq day do ga' and (one of the following 2 sentences) 'chal phir tu talaq layla' or he said 'talaq lay la phir tu'. Upon hearing the word 'Talaq' twice my sister walked in to the room and said 'Dad agar aap nay ek baar phir kaha to waqaie ho jai gi' in respose to that, Father replied 'Ho jai phir'. Following day when I advised my father to consult a mufti because 'jo aap nay kaha hai wo theek nahi hai' upon hearing this Father replied (one of the two sentences) 'Ho Jai phir, Ho jai' or he said 'Ho jai phir jay hundi hai' It was evident from his behavior that he was not bothered or concerned. Please Mufti sahib kindly shed some light upon the issue. How many talaqs have taken place and on which sentences. My parents have been living together since then and I am very concerned. I am scared to discuss this issue with my parents again in order to ask them the exact wording but to the best of my knowledge after discussing with my sister and brother. We came to the conclusion of the above words.

Q: What is the ruling on Khula' and how much can the husband take?
