Written Talaaq

Q: My father signed a written divorce for my second mother. He has given three divorce at one time. It is written like I divorce you, I divorce you, I divorce you. Will it be taken as complete divorce or only one?

Q: My husband and I went through a rough patch in our marriage where he gave me talaaq. We met through a mutual friend and decided to get married, our families arranged the wedding but then arguments occurred over wedding furniture and the wedding dress between our families which lead to his family trying to break off the wedding the night before. My husband married me anyway and at the beginning of our marriage he was very depressed about his family cutting him out of their lives. I felt like he sometimes took all his anger and frustration out on me, it really affected him mentally. I tried to be really kind and supportive but sometimes the verbal abuse and neglect became too much. I told him to be patient and his family will eventually talk to him again, he was so convinced that they would ignore him forever he was so depressed. Alhamdulillah now his family spoke to him again and everything is normal, it took a while but they got there. I just wanted to know if that talaq was valid. I read on other websites to refer to similar questions and read the answer there. The questions were about talaaq given in extreme anger and the answers were their talaq was not valid. My husband and I were arguing a lot during our rough patch and it got so heated we said awful things to each other. He was not himself at all. At this moment I was staying at my parent's house and he was at our flat. We argued on the phone and it continued on text late into the night. He suddenly texted "i divorce u" while we were sending heated texts. The next morning he said he couldn't remember doing it, sending that text, and said he was extremely angry and texting very fast. I would really like to know if this talaaq was valid. I've researched so much on talaaq during extreme anger and I keep reading that it's invalid and that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said there is no talaq during extreme anger. Please help put my mind at ease.

Q: My husband gave me 1 written talaaq 8 years ago but we consummated before the iddat period. Then today he gave me 2 written talaaqs. Does it mean three talaaqs or still two. What is the procedure now. I am confused. I love him but he doesn't seem to care.

Q: My husband gave me one talaaq via SMS in December while we were separated. We reconciled after a month. Then on Thursday night he gave me two talaaqs via whatsapp while we were sitting in the same house and while being intoxicated on dagga. We are currently separated. Are these talaaqs valid? Is my marriage over?

Q: Can a person divorce his wife via an sms or text message, or does he have to phone her and give her the divorce by speaking over the phone? 

Q: I am married for five years and we have a 3 year old son. Alhamdulillah we used to live in Saudi Arabia but because of our financial status I came to India since 1 year and he comes on vacations. He loves me a lot and I also loves him. We both take care of each other very well and we both are very loyal to each other in everything. But my husband is a very aggressive person. In aggression he will loose control of himself. He says whatever he tells its right, if sometimes I try to correct him at that time he starts to fight. But I control myself and avoid arguments. Once over a silly argument he told me talaaq through a message but next day he apologised for it. As he said it in anger with out any intention of it, I also forgave him at that time only. But again second time after few months without any real reason in anger and tension on a argument he told me talaaq lelo aur jaao ' through a message. I am very confused with this kind of behaviour. I don't understand what to do. I am sure that he will call and talk with me by tomorrow. Insha Allah. Even he will be sorry for it. But I don't have any Islamic knowledge about this. Is it considered as a real talaaq or as it was unintentional so we can ignore it? Is there any kaffara for it. Please let me know and help me regarding this matter.

Q: I got married three months ago to a boy few days after nikaah. He went back home as his parents didn't know he was married and he told me he will be back before the school opens. Ever since then we started fighting. I landed up in ICU two weeks after our nikaah. I was then sedated for 2 weeks after wards whereas my mind set was altered  and a lot of things wasn't remembered and I remained in hospital for six weeks until discharge. Few days after I landed in ICU I was apparently fighting with my husband via sms, most of which I cannot recall, as my mindset was altered and apparently talaaq was given and I don't know in what manner or how it was said, or written, because my mindset was altered I was sedated everything was blurred as I was having status epilepticus so they kept me on rivatrol sedated and I was merely opening my eyes few times a day for few minutes in 4 weeks. I refute his talaaqs completely and don't accept it. He cannot prove these talaaqs as he doesn't have these messages to show me.

Q: A woman had sent a khula letter on a 100 rupees stamp paper written by a moulana to her husband witnessed by her sister and brother stating that she needs khula, upon receiving the husband signed the document writing that he is giving divorce and willing to release her with out taking any Mahr amount or what so ever. Will this end the marriage or the husband should pronounce talaaq in front of witnesses to end the marriage. Just upon receiving the written consent papers can the woman marry another person.

Q: Me and my husband are currently in the middle of a divorce. It is not something I want but their are family complications on his side which means sadly he is taking this route. The way he is giving me a divorce is though written paper which is signed by two witnesses. He will only issue this once to me. My question is I always thought that a divorce needs to be issued three times over a three months period is the way he is divorcing me valid? Also once I receive the paper of divorce my iddah period will begin after this period is over does the rule apply that we can not reconcile and are unable to marry each other again unless I have a another marriage which is genuine and genuinely does not work out (I would not do anything like this on purpose as I know it is haram). Or could we re marry because the divorce has only been issued once?
