Talaaq

Q: If a man has an intention of divorcing his wife but does not say anything aloud (he said talaaq in his mind), is the nikkah still valid?

Q: Does a remarried divorcee have a right over her children from the previous marriage a lady got her marriage dissolved and her boys were left with her former husband (who is their father) and later she remarried. Now she wants her boys back, and says the shariah supports her on this – but the husbands claims that she waived her custodial rights by remarrying -- and that the boys will suffer under their step father.

Q: I have a Brother-in law who is Bi-polar (Mental sickness), He had a re-lapse, whereby he became sick again about a week ago. He is married & has one child. However when he had the re-lapse he pronounced 3 talaaqs to his wife, thereafter he was hospitalised for a week & is now back at home. Is his pronunciation of the 3 talaaqs valid?

Q: My daughter  has been married  for 6 years and separated from her husband 10 months ago. She has been asking for talaq but her husband and his family have been playing delaying tactics. Finally they have agreed  to give her talaq and have asked her to do the following:

1. Request talaaq by email message 
2. Return the mehar given to her at the time of nikkah and return gold jewellery given to her at nikah. Will this be classed as khula talaq?

Will it be baain/ complete  talaq?  

She also has gold jewlery given to her by her grand parents at the time of nikah is she entitled to claim this?

Q: A husband and wife have been having numerous arguments. During the course of these arguments, the husband has, on many occasions, told the wife “ if you want to leave, pack your things and go”. Does this nullify the nikah?

Q: I relapsed into drugs after years this past weekend, my wife which is 3 months pregnent with our second child and I had an argument about it, I was very angry at the time I said talaq 3 times at once over bbm while not in the right frame of mind. Is it still valid? We are both in deep regret I do not know where to turn. I did make a mistake taking the substance over the weekend and have already booked for a rehab. Due to the facts sent by msg, thrice at once, wife being pregnent, being under the influence these factors could perhaps make it null and void. 

I have had a response to the above stating it is valid.

I have forgotten to mention that my wife and I were separated previously and that I gave a single talaq straight after we had separated. We had only decided to reconcile after 10 months. I am unsure on this, did this mean we had to make nikah again if we got together after 10 months? Does this mean the few months we spent together was haraam and is the triple talaaq I gave void since we we're actualy not married again?

Q: If a man has issued a 3rd talaaq to his wife, not knowing she was on her monthly menses (period) at the time, is the talaaq valid? Both are following the Hanafi madhab.

Q: Does tearing marriage photos count as a divorce? For example, if a husband tears up a marriage photo after a dispute with his wife in the past but does not remember why the photo was ripped in the first place, does this lead to anything?

Q: In a case of divorce what does the Sharia say about paternal grandparents right on the female baby. I am aware that they have rights to visit the child. But my question is do they have rights to come and pick up the baby and take the baby to their home?

Q: I have given my wife one talaaq thereafter we reconciled the marriage. After a week we had an arguement, she requested that should I issue her second and third talaaq, she will accept it in front of a witness. I issued it not in front of any witnesses. Is it valid or not?
