Question 1
My husband, a 45-year-old doctor, has high blood pressure and a psychiatric condition (panic disorder). Due to his medical conditions, he loses control during tense situations, becoming extremely aggressive. One day, after a heated argument, he uttered the words "you are divorced" in a fit of rage. Considering his medical condition and the fact that I was menstruating at the time, is the divorce valid?
Answer 1
Question 2
My husband divorced me in a fit of anger, pronouncing the words "I am divorcing you, I have divorced you, I have divorced you." We are unsure how many times he actually meant to pronounce the divorce. Should these words be treated as two or three divorces?
Answer 2
Question 3
My husband pronounced a third divorce while I was on my menses, and he was angry at the time. A local Sheikh is seeking a fatwa from Darul Iftah in Saudi Arabia to determine if the divorce is valid. The Sheikh is considering four points:
The husband's anger at the time of pronouncement
The fact that I was on my menses
The potential extreme hardship on our four young children and me
Our mutual desire to remain together
Is it valid to seek a fatwa on these points?
Answer 3
Question 4
My husband frequently says "I give you talaq" when he's angry, and I've lost count of how many times he's said this. He's done this while I was pregnant and even during postpartum bleeding. Each time, he claims he didn't mean it and was unaware of his words due to anger. I'm currently 5 months pregnant with our fourth child, and after a recent incident, I'm unsure if I'm still in a valid marriage.
Answer 4
Question 5
I suffer from mental health issues, including extreme anger management problems and a history of self-harming. I was under the influence of drugs and in a state of extreme anger when I pronounced three divorces to my wife. I claim I was not in control of my senses at the time.
Answer 5
Question 6
I uttered three divorces to my wife in extreme anger, but I was not completely insane. I was aware of my surroundings and knew what I was saying, but I couldn't control my words. This is not the first time I've uttered verbal divorce to my wife; it happened roughly 8 and 9 years ago during heated arguments.
Answer 6
Question 7
My wife and I had a heated argument, and in a state of extreme anger, I uttered the words of divorce three times without any intention or knowledge of their implications. I was in a partially defective state of mind, unable to recall my brother's name or perform normal mental functions. We are both frustrated and seeking guidance on whether Islam considers this divorce effective.
Answer 7
Question 8
I uttered two divorces (talaq) to my wife in October 2007 during an argument, and then again one divorce in February 2008. Both times, I was in a state of extreme anger and mental instability. We reconciled after each incident, but now we're unsure if we're still married.
Answer 8
Question 9
My husband and I had a heated argument, and he uttered the word "divorce" after I threatened him and he was enraged. Some people claim this divorce doesn't count, while others say it's the last and final divorce. I'm seeking clarification on whether this divorce is valid or not.
Answer 9
Question 10
I had a heated argument with my wife, and in anger, I said, "I don't like to live with you! If you wish, I will give you..." without uttering the word "divorce." She responded, asking me to give her the divorce, and I confirmed. However, I never explicitly said the word "divorce." Is this considered a valid divorce, and is my wife still in my Nikah?
