Question:
I asked my husband out of anger to end the marriage because he was not giving me time or even providing for me he got a letter typed up divorce written 3 x and came and gave it to me but then we got back together is dis right or wrong plz help me jazak’Alla.
Answer:
Writing a divorce without actually pronouncing it to the wife is not sufficient to constitute a valid divorce unless the writing is accompanied with the actual intent of divorce. If written under coercion, or as a rehearsal, or some other reason without the intention of enactment then it is not a divorce. If written to the intention of divorce then a single divorce takes place even if undelivered to the wife and even if not witnessed by anyone else.
