Three Talaaqs
Q: My husband and I had an argument and he said some hurtful things which he often says when we have our arguments.The next day we were talking and he asked me if I wanted a seperation. I said yes and he immediately mumbled Talaaq,Talaaq,Talaaq and got out of the car. Please advise if this terminates the nikkah (marriage).
A. Three Talaaqs have taken place and there is no possibility of reconciliation unless you marry someone else, but such a marriage must not be planned and arranged by the husband or yourself. You will now have to undergo the Iddat period. Moulana Yusuf Laher Checked and approved by: Mufti Siraj Desai

The Final Analysis |
|
People are often unreasonable, self-centred: Forgive them anyway. If you are honest, people may cheat you, but be honest anyway. What you spend years to build, someone could destroy overnight. Build anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow. Do good anyway. You see, in the final analysis it is between you and Allah, it never was between you and them anyway. |

Q: As a lady can I divorce my husband who doesn't want to divorce? A: In Islam a wife cannot divorce her husband. Divorce in Islam is the sole right of the husband. You can request a divorce if he is ill-treating you or not supporting you at all financially. If he refuses to give talaaq, then you can offer him money in lieu of the talaaq. If he still refuses, then go to your local Ulema council and ask them to process an annulment of the marriage. However, one condition for an annulment is that the husband must be guilty of physical or mental abuse, or neglecting his wife's finanical needs entirely. The ulema will explain the other conditions of annulment as well as the procedure Allah Ta'ala make it easy for you.
