Talaaq

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: I was like kind of attracted to my sister in law. About a year back my wife and I where having an argument. She was telling me that she does not like me talking to her sister and that I'm always talking to her sister etc. I always like had the thought that the rule regarding where a man touches his mother inlaw with lust nikah breaks may also apply to the sister in law also. I also had doubts as to weather rule may apply to the sister in law. I was not completely sure. Anyway, during that argument I told my wife "you know if I even touch her (my wifes sister) nikah breaks" with no intention of any talaq at all. I wasn't suspending or issuing a talaq I wasn't even thinking about talaq. I just told her that for it to seem as though that is the islamic ruling. I just guessed/made up/ lied for it to seem that that is the islamic ruling and for her not to worry and to give assurance. I had absolutely no intention of any talaq, the only intention I may have had was not to touch my sister in law because its a sin. After couple of months I touched my sister in law with lust then after a few months I may have touched her with lust again. Some muftis told me that no talaq takes place because I had no intention. Another told me that no talaq takes place because that's a completely wrong statement and the statement won't take effect coz that's not the masla etc. Another told me it like falls under explaining a masla. My question is (1) is there any suspended talaq in this situation? If yes how many talaqs take place?  Am I safe and do I have anything to worry about?

Q: Husband and wife slept in different rooms for more than a year. They had no children. The husband told her if she wants divorce then she has to return back to her parents. She returned back. She found out that the divorce was valid. Four years has passed. Please confirm if the divorce was valid?

Q: Although there was no real issue between me and my wife, her daughter had been a problem from day one. However to cut a long story short, My wife stated her reasons why she wanted a divorce and I reluctantly gave her 1 talak with the hope that we could reconcile. I did not want the divorce and still don't. However, she proclaims the marriage is over and now im confused. Can you clarify the situation?
