Talaaq

Q: I would like to know if husband and wife have gone to the MJC. The wife wanted a faskh but the husband didn't want. The MJC didn't grant one because there wasn't grounds for a faskh, but has requested that the husband and wife meet again at the MJC to discuss the way forward. My question is, can the wife go behind his back to another Imam or Sheikh and get a faskh without the husband even knowing about it or being notified. I have heard that there are some Imams that will simply issue a faskh based on the wifes story and not even bother to notify the husband. Is this valid?

Q: We got our younger brother married to our cousin and rukhsati was not held. Now a clash came between both families. Now tell me if my brother gives divorce in front of us not in front of his wife, then will the divorce be valid or not?

Q: If husband in anger says talaak three times just talaaq nothing else with it. Is talaaq done from uttering these three words?

Q: Before I ask my question let me explain what happened. Shortly after we got married my husband and I had a fight and he said I am giving you a talaaq. This being the first time he has said we took it it as one talaaq, and we reconciled and carried on. After that we had numerous fights and it got to a point where he said he doesn't want to be with me anymore, he is leaving. Very harsh words towards me. But he did not say that he is giving me another talaaq or divorcing me. A few months passed after that and it has now gotten to a point about two weeks ago, that he said I am giving you a talaaq, and he packed up and left. I have been sitting in iddat since then. My questions are as follows;

1. Does him saying during our fights that he is leaving constitute a second talaaq?

2. Is this talaaq he has given now the 2nd or 3rd talaaq?

3. If it is the 2nd talaaq can we reconcile and does a new nikaah have to made?

4. If it is the 3rd talaaq does he still have a responsibility to me during my iddat period or not, as he has moved out am I obliged to spend my iddat in my current home where I am still staying?

5. Is it permissible for me to go to work during my iddat as he is no longer supporting me, and I have no father or brothers or even uncles to take me in?

Q: I am married to my wife for the past 7 years and during these years of my married life I used to have heated arguments with my wife on her behavior and out of anger I have given her divorce in intervals but maximum number at a time was 2. We are still living together. Please advise if our marriage is still valid?

Q: My husband told me if I will call or contact a friend of mine, I will automatically get three talaaqs. I wanted to know if this is true according to Shariah? Will I really get divorced if I call that friend? And if this is true then how can I talk to that friend if I have a serious issue to discuss with her without getting divorced? Please help. I hope i will get an answer soon.

Q: Can a woman undergo two faskhs and still remarry the same man after the iddat of her second faskh?

Q: I was having a good time with my wife. I just snatched a pillow from her because I was using the internet at that time so she said to me a word in urdu (katti) and I said (acha yar). I hope you know katti. Katti means when in childhood friends use to say to break friendship and they raise little finger and say katti. That word, my wife used to me and it was just in love I know but I was busy on the internet and I said acha yar thats all. I didn't have niyaat or any thoughts of divorce. After that when using the internet I got waswasa and it made me afraid. I am having waswasa since 1 year. What to do?

Q: Once me and my wife was rude (in ghazab) to each other and I beat her and then she also beat me which made me too angry and then she said give me talaq and as I was too angry I said Talaq, talaq, talaq. I don't know whether that was two times or three time, but I didn't tell her that you are talaaq, I just repeated the talaq word. This happened when we both were too angry (fighting with each other), while in fact both of us didn't want this and we both love each other, So please instruct me in this regard?

Q: My question is that if this much privacy has been provided that husband and wife become intimate, but intercourse hasn't been done yet, is it possible after divorce to revoke the talaaq within three months or does a new nikaah have to be performed?
