Talaaq

Does the wife have the right to divorce

Q: I want to ask that if a girl has got the 'right to divorce' in nikah nama, how can she divorce her husband if she needs to? Is it right in Islam for a woman to have this right? and if so, can she divorce her husband just by saying divorce three times (as a man can do) or there is some other strategy for a girl who has got this right (of divorce) by her husband?

Talaaq question

Q: I would like to enquire about an argument that occurred between my spouse and myself in 2003. During that time I uttered the word Tala Tala Tila. Since then my wife and I lived together as normal lives until Jan 2013. Recently my wife had a small problem and now stated about that incident whereby I had said those words. I confronted her parents in 2003 about the matter and explained the situation that it was not intentional. My wife is insisting that she heard the words back then. Also to note that we got a baby girl in 2007 who is currently 7 years of age. This has since become a problem and we require clarity as to if the marriage is over? I await your feedback.

Talaaq in the state of anger

Q: I'd like to know something regarding talaaq. I am an ex-recovering addict. I used drugs and I got married in 2012 and 6 months later in a rage of anger and not in the right frame of mind I sent an email to my wife giving her 3 talaqs. It's now 2014. I have rehabilitated myself and have been thinking a lot about what I've done and wondering whether my talaaq are valid or not?

Does talaaq take place through saying "I do not have a wife"

Q: Please help me. Once one of my friend's said "Do you have a wife? and I said "I don't have a wife, we have gone our separate ways" (meaning I left her but I never had any intention of divorcing my wife. The only reason why I said this is because I didn't want them to know my business but I quickly changed my statement and said "Yes I have a wife" but all I wanted was them not to know my business. Is this divorce?
