Those situations where Talaaq takes place

Q: If a husband gives one talaq over the phone saying "I give you talaq in presence of 2 witnesses" and the wife was in menstruation. Does this talaq take place and what is the time to reconcile as she is far away and her husband is not willing to talk. Some say within 40 days or else the talaq takes place. Is this true? This incident happened on August 7. She cant go back to the country anytime before September 10 or so. Also make dua for this couple that Allah Ta'ala reunite them and keep them with aafyiat. This whole thing happened due to a huge misunderstanding and argument.

Q: 3 years ago my marriage was done with my husband and because of some misunderstandings and circumstances we live separate from each other. Now it's 2 and half years since we are living separate from each other. In this time he tried to give me talaq but I didn't accept, he said that he sent divorce papers to me (but I didn't receive it) and signed it not read it. Is our divorce done or not?

Q: I wanted to know if I file for divorce in the court in the West so if I sign and my wife signs and the court gives divorce and we become legally divorced. Does it mean we are divorced according to sharia too or court divorce does not affect the Islamic relation. And in case if it finishes our marriage relation by sharia. So then if we decide later to get back as wife and husband as in case we sort out what is the process by Islamic way.

Q: My sister got divorce from her husband few days back, but she is 7 month pregnant. So kindly give fatwah if pregnant women can be divorced or not. She and her husband have not touched each other since last 5 months.

Q: My husband divorced me and then we had sexual relations a month later. Are we still divorced or does that mean the marriage is back on.

Q: I am a patient of chronic depression, in other words I am suffering from bi-polar depression and it was diagnosed by psychiatric and I am having extreme mood swings as well. Once in this condition I gave my wife many talaqs. Actually I uttered the word TALAQ many times. Is my talaq valid?

Q: My husband told my mum last year that he divorces me twice in one sitting. He later said he doesn't remember this and following saying it he smashed his phone. He said it was as if he was not present when saying it, he didnt realise. Is this counted as talaq or ighlaq? I can only take his word for it. Since then, he has said many times that 'main khatam karna chahta hun aj' meaning I want to end it today. But when asked he says he has no intention of divorce and it was only in anger. I cannot live my life as I don't know if I am married anymore.

Q: If the wife asked the husband for talaq and the husband, in a joking way said that I give you 3 talaq. He was not serious, in a funny way he said that I give you 3 talaq. So will it be talaq?

Q: If someone performs black magic on a married couple for the husband to divorce the wife and the husband divorces her, then is this divorce valid?

Q: Unfortunately we grew up in a time when our Islamic knowledge was very limited, hence it lead to a lot of mistakes and sins that we have committed. One being in question is that when we got married we followed the kaafir law of COP not realising and understanding the concept. Today it brings up alot of complications. Living in our country it is very difficult. People have advised us that the only way to rectify this is through an English divorce at the court. I am very afraid of this as the law of talaaq is not a simple issue and I don't want to live in sin and regret. Can Mufti Saheb please advise me on this.
