Saying ‘divorce happened’ in reference to a past divorce is not a new divorce
Dear Scholar. I was talking to my mother-in-law and informed her that my husband gave me one divorce and that now two are left. My husband was sitting with me and said, "Divorce happened," confirming the previous divorce that he gave me. I asked him again what he meant and he said that he was referring to the previous incidence in which I claimed that.. More

Suffering from the husband and his parents
Assalaamu alaykum. I have a very rough marriage. My husband is part of Jamaa'at At-Tabligh, and I am strictly against this group.

When I asked why I was falsely told about his activities.. More

Doubting whether written divorce was effective or not
I have been married for six years; during this time, I divorced her twice, but we reconciled. Three months ago, she left the country to meet her parents, and we kept in touch via the internet.

Ruling on conditional divorce in the past tense
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. My question is regarding a conditional promise of divorce. If the phrase is in the future it counts as a promise of divorce. What if a man says, "I would have already left you if you did this." In this case, if the wife did the action, is divorce effective?

The ruling on divorce if husband merely signed divorce papers
Respected Mufti, please help me to save my future and to rectify my mistake.

In light of the.. More

Staying out the house without husband's permission is recalcitrance
I am from Saudi Arabia. I have been married for the last six years (since 2009) with one daughter and one son. Every year, I visit India two or three times and leave my wife at her parents home for four to eight days. This time, we were going for the Eid to India, and I took three weeks off. I told her several times that I would send her for one week.. More

An ambiguous case of multiple divorces
I pronounced the divorce several times out of ignorance or confusion due to what shaykhs were telling me. All utterings were at the urging of my wife while I was just going along with her wishes. An imam told me that I can take her back anytime and I wrongly assumed that I can divorce and take her back as many times as I want. Also, to the best of my.. More

Her husband does not live with her without a valid reason
Assalaamu alaykum. My question is about a husband being away from his wife without valid reasons. My husband allowed me to move from his state to be with my son in another state. I assumed that he would be joining us shortly after since he does not have a job currently (or family) in his state; he is just working odd jobs. Alhamdulillah, Allaah has.. More

A woman is not obliged to tell people how many times she was divorced
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaah. If you have been divorced more then once, is it necessary to tell people or is it ok to mention that you have been divorced but not how many times?
