Q: I have a doubt in my mind over a situation 9 years back. I asked my husband to write divorce to me. He said that I must write it myself, meaning to say divorce written by wife will not be of any validity. Now I doubt whether he gave me the right to divorce and I am uncertain whether I had written the words of divorce 3 times or not. What is the ruling?
Q: My cousin had some issues with his wife and his wife left him and moved to her parents. We all tried to settle the difference with them but she kept on asking for divorce. He went to court and sent her divorce papers... giving her divorce in it 3 times. Then every month the court sent her the notice for the divorce. Will the divorce be valid this way if there is no settlement between them even after 3 months?
Q: May I ask firstly I separated from my ex husband back in Sept 2008 due to him been very abusive towards me and my children and my intention not to take him back in my life again. He agreed and said talaq to me once and walked out the door. The marriage never reconciliation after then and there was no communication in any way between us until 2012 when my daughter reported him to the social service for abuse and there was an investigation taken place where we had to go to court he was asked in front of 4 barristers and a judge whether he is still married to me or not and when did he give me an islamic talaq. He replied in front of the legal parties in court by saying that I am haraam for him every way possible even by looking at me he is doing a sin and I say it again in front of you that I have divorced this lady and she is no longer my wife. I was told by an imaam of my local mosque that by him saying this in front of the legal parties that my nikaah is broken with him, then due to having a court marriage as well I filed for divorce against him and he signed the paper 3 times. Am I right to think that I'm no longer binded with him.
Firstly could you please verify this for me as I am looking to remarry again.
Q: I am a second wife of my hysband. He married my 4.5 yrs ago without telling his family and his first wife about this marriage. Before marrying me he told me that since his first wife doesnt know about it, he wont be able to stay with me as much as he should. I agreed upon this bcoz I knew he loved me. So whenever convenient, he will come over to stay with me. In all these 4.5 yrs he hardly spent 12 nights with me. Due to this I started getting angry with him very often. In the mean time, I had no clue that his first wife now knows that we are married. So I started asking him to reveal the matter to his family. he asked me for 1.5 month time period to prepare the grounds for revealing this marriage. After he revealed it, he started saying to me that his first wife was pressuruzing him to select only one wife. He has 3 kids from her and 1 baby (8month) from me. His parents are not alive but all the other members of his family are his first wife's supporters. He also started telling them that we have lots of issuesa and we are unable to continue with this marriage whereas according to me, our only issue is that he does not give me time. After revealing our marriage, he also started saying that I cant give equality. I didnt involve my family into the matter bcoz I thought that he is doing all this in my favor, bcoz he always used dual meaning statements due to which I could never judge that he wants to get rid of me. Then one night he texted me that I wanna divorce u, and after 5 days, he sent me divorce papers. Since I was out, I couldnt receive them. He also kept telling me that I should not open the envelope as I am sending this just to prove to my wife and family that I have left you. I didnt want this divorce. Whats my status and is my husband justified in this? Is his first wife also justified in asking him to select 1?

So tell me how much I have to pay and you are my sister" I was just joking and I don't know much about talaq, only what I see on tv news. I am in India but my wife is telling me that I have given her talaq so everything ends now and I should go back home. Allah knows I was just joking and really I don't know about talaq laws.

I didn't agree to divorce her but due to some circumtances her father hired a lawyer and got affidavit and stamp for divorce and demanded me to sign over the stamp. I had to sign on the papers. They left all three children with me. Since then, 8 monts have been passed and my ex wife wants to remarry me for the sake of our lovely children.
