Q: This is with regards to talaaq. Me and my wife have been living separate for a few months due to some family issues. For the past three months I have been given mental torture and pressure from both families to issue a talaaq which I have been totally against. This has lead to physical violence on my self (beaten up by family members). I was put inside a room and was told to issue a talaaq from my family which again I refused. I tried to walk out of the room but was dragged back and told not to move. I feared for myself as I knew if I don't say the 3 T's then I would endure serious physical harm to my self. In the end I didn't know what I was saying but had to issue the 3 T's in order for myself to be safe and secure. Since issuing the 3 T's, I had no intention of doing this but I was in no frame of mind in that room. I didn't know what was happening and feared for my own safety. Is this talaaq valid? Please can you help me?
A: If you were conscious and aware at the time of issuing the talaaqs, then the talaaqs are valid.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
