Talaaq

Q: During a general conversation (not a fight), my husband and I were talking about a degree recognition form that I was required to complete. This form required a character reference to be completed by another professional on my behalf.

My husband said that he would complete this for me. I then told him that family members could not complete the form, to which he replied something like "you can say you are not married".

When I told him it is wrong for him to say such a thing Islamically, he responded that he said this so that we avoid prolonging the process (as if I ticked the married box they would require a host of further information from him). He did not intend anything like divorce.

My question is does this count as a talaq of any kind?

Q: My mother-in-law had lost her temper, I had taken my wife away and said to my wife, "I swear by the Quraan that if I went to her house today, our relationship would end." I haven't gone there yet. What is the solution in Shariat?

Q: A few days ago my husband had a fight with me. He angrily told me clearly the words, I divorce you. In fact, he told me this word the whole day, 7 times. Later on, we made ruju' and had physical relation. I want to know that, is the nikaah broken or not? Is my married life safe or not?

Q: If a husband tells his wife that suppose the word dog means divorce. Then a few days later the husband told his wife that you are a dog. Will divorce take place?

Q: I live in Canada. Is it permissible for my wife to claim 50% of my assets if she goes for a divorce? Canadian law allows her to claim 50% of my assets. 

السوال:

١) هل يجوز لي أخذ نفقة من طليقي طالما أنني أنوي الانفصال مدنيا ويترتب علي ذلك مقاسمته أمواله وما يملك سواء كان بيتا أو حتي سيارة حسب قوانين البلد هنا فهل يعتبر ذلك حلالا لي أم حراما؟

٢) فيما يخص الأولاد هل يجوز لي طلب نفقة شهرية لهم حسب قانون البلد هنا خاصة أنني أنوي فعلا المضي قدما في القضية والمطالبة بالحضانة؟

Q: A person created a fake Facebook account and to pass time and for fun he posted an ad for marriage where he showed that he is divorced and he talked to many people where he mentioned that he was a divorced but in fact he was not.

In this case, is he divorced? He did not show his real name and identity not his wife's identity.

Q: My husband is an amazing provider financially but he has had sexual intercourse only a handful of times with me since we have been married. Most of the time after I begged him. He has cheated on me with sex workers many times. We would often have gaps of 2-3 months but this time we have not even touched one another in 5 months. Then i found out about “ila” divorce. He says he loves me but does not feel sexually attracted to me. Am I divorced? Is this marriage over? He says he has not been with any woman in these past 5 months too but who can believe a liar? We have no children and have been married for 2 years.

Q: If a man gives his pregnant wife 3 talaaqs by repeating "I talaaq you, I talaaq you, I talaaq you" like that and she leaves his home, can he take her back? At the time of the talaaq being given, the father alone witnessed it together with the wife.

1. Are the 3 talaaqs valid?

2. Can they reconcile?

3. Is a talaaq allowed while the wife is pregnant?

Q: I married a lady who converted to Islam two years ago. Despite many discussions and arguments, she continues to consume alcohol which we both agreed was something she would not do. Everytime it’s saying sorry but it all recurs again. I am now of the view that I have to divorce her even though I understand the importance of introducing and keeping someone in Islam.
