Written Talaaq

Divorce via email

Q: My son and his wife lived together abroad. She got a baby but unfortunately died before birth. On the advice of a doctor, she came back to Pakistan for her treatment. After sometime, my son sent an email through his computer, and wrote the divorce to his wife's email address. Divorce without any witnesses and signature. Both would like to reconcile and patch up now. I would like to know according to Islamic Shari'ah that has talaq has taken place through email or not?

Will one talaaq take place or three in the following case?

Q: A revert is asked by his wife for a divorce, which he refuses. She applies for a court interdict after they have a fight and his Muslim lawyer advises him to agree to the divorce in exchange for the wife not asking for the interdict. He reluctantly agrees but still doesn't give talaaq. A few weeks later his lawyer says that the wife is waiting for the talaaq and he must give it. He writes "I hereby give you a divorce" and the lawyer adds "in this regard I give you 3 talaaq." He signs it and the lawyer emails it to the wife. What is the validity of this divorce and is it 3 or 1? The husband says he has never wanted the divorce and it was never his intention to give 3 as he did not understand what this meant.

My husband and I had a intercourse a week later.

Writing out three talaaqs under duress

Q: My sisters husband gave her three talaaqs about two weeks ago. After five months of marriage. It was a letter signed by him & written in her absence, then brought to my sister by somebody she didn't know. Her father-in-law was behind all of this. Her husband said his dad wrote letter first, so he tore it up. Then his parents made him re- write it watching him. He said his dad would disown him if he goes against his dad. He even told my dad the day before that he still wants to be with my sister. She saw him crying when his dad made this decision for him. Now he says he didn't mean to. Clearly he was under duress will this talaaq still be counted?
