Q: If a husband says to his wife while disciplining her over a shar'ee masla that if she does not obey he will divorce her and she becomes quiet after that, does that constitute divorce? If she later on does that action does that constitute divorce? The husband meant that as a threat and not as an oath.
Q: My question is based on my situation below, is our marriage still valid? My husband and I have had a argument back in november 2014 and since then we have not been under the same roof. We have communicated over the phone and twice in the presence of others, but overall every conversation we had was with a lot of argument, fight, negativity in all forms, no matter how hard I tried to make it positive. We have not had a happy conversation ever since on good terms as a genuine husband and wife would in a normal non-stressful life. What concerns me that with all that negativity and separation going on, is our nikaah still valid? Are we considered a married couple? I hope I provided enough information for you to analyze the correct Islamic way for my situation.
Q: My husband gave me 1 written talaaq 8 years ago but we consummated before the iddat period. Then today he gave me 2 written talaaqs. Does it mean three talaaqs or still two. What is the procedure now. I am confused. I love him but he doesn't seem to care.
Q: I am in U.S. on a visit visa. I got a girl to marry on contract but I am married in my country. In U.S. you can marry one lady at a time so I have to give one sided talaak to my first wife. It's just for paper work. In real I don't want to give my first wife talaak. Is it permissible in Islam because through this I will get permanent residency in the U.S.
Q: My parents used to quarrel and many times my father used the words like "go to your fathers house" and even once told to my grandfather "take your daughter to your home" ( in Urdu) and once he even said that "I will get another wife"but never used the word divorce explicitly; but now alhamdulillah they don't fight anymore. Please tell me the status of nikaah of my parents and I think he did not intend divorce at that time.
Q: My husband and I live apart since 2013. He used to come and see me often. He gave me one divorce in 2012 but then we went back together. He gave me another divorce in November 2014 but this time over the phone. When he gave it to me we still stayed in contact due to some paper work issues but he didn't ask me to come back to him neither he came to see me or take me back. I want to know if I am divorced as its been almost 6 months now.
Q: I would like to know if a husband and wife are separated for more than three months what does this mean? Is the nikah broken, or talaak takes place? My daughter and her husband are separated for just over three months with no contact at all.
Q: It is requested to please clarify the issue regarding divorce. Husband and wife had a fight over the phone when no one was around. Wife reports the words said by the husband that "I will leave you" more than once. However, after 4-5 days the Husband regrets saying this and now reports that I didn't say these words. However, they now wants to live together, but the problem is that what does Shari'ah say when the husband denies these words but the wife reports these words with no witnesses? What would be the kafara for this? Please guide us in this difficult situation.
Q: A person was standing in his in-laws house. Some argument with his sister in-law turned into heated debate and in extreme anger he said that if I ever enter this house then I divorce. He did not mention his wife’s name or even not pointed towards her. She was not even present there. He stopped just on that word and when others asked him what he meant he said he was in anger and do not have any intention of saying that. The things normalized after that and he was again happily sat with them. He left his in laws house after a day. Now question is if he ever enters that house, will there be any divorce while he is saying that he did not have such intentions and word slipped out of his mouth.
Q: I was angry with my wife. During anger i was getting waswasas about divorce but I controled myself and then I recited la halo wala khuwta illa bila. Few hours later I just speak in a low voice to shaitan that you cannot break my relation like that. This relation is made by Allah. This is my will, I will not leave her. In Urdu I said like me chah kar bi nae chor sakta. Bas ek dum mind me waswasa aya ka CAHA KAR kia metlab? Did you mean divorce. But it was a statement I did to tell shaitan that at any cost I will not leave her. There is no niyaat of giving her divorce. Is my nikaah valid?
