Question:
My wife’s sister filed her divorce through US court within few weeks of her marriage. Court sent her husband notice to appear but he didn’t accept. After awhile, court published divorce notice in the newspaper but he never responded. Finally court confirmed her divorce as per US laws (around 14 years ago). She has never heard from him since that time. I also want to mention that, they never had physical relationship while married.
Is this divorce complete per Islamic laws?
Answer:
salam `alaykum,
From what has been presented here this divorce is complete. Allah knows best.
