Issuing three talaaqs when the nikaah was not consummated

Submitted by user2 on Sun, 2023-06-04 08:33

Q: I wanted to ask regarding a person who got married to a woman and didn't have relations or spent time in seclusion with his wife and went to America. He did, however, touch her with lust.

After a year, he says that he, in his full senses is giving her Talaq, talaq, talaq.

What is the maslah regarding the amount of talaqs and iddat regarding this woman.

A: If the nikaah was not consummated and he issued three talaaqs separately, then only one talaaq-e-baain (irrevocable talaaq) will take place and she will come out of his nikaah. She will have to sit in iddat. The iddat will be three monthly cycles.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
