I had &quot;needs&quot; from my wife and had already tried out various ways to get my &quot;needs&quot; fulfilled throughout these 5 years. We have a daughter now, who is 4 yrs. old.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">One day, I wrote down the word &quot;TALAQ&quot; in Arabic letters on a piece of paper to threaten my wife. My intention wasn&#39;t for a divorce. Then, I felt like my handwriting was bad and unclear, so I wrote it out another two times. Then I rolled it up and kept that paper in my Jeans pocket.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">At the time, when I wrote the words, I only meant to write the word &quot;Talaq&quot; out once and added the other two to ensure that the word was correct as I am not an Arab or an Alim.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">The next afternoon, my wife and her sister were sat together in a room and I went to them and told my wife to come with me to a private place so that we could talk. My wife argued and her sister (my sister-in-law) started to abuse me and it made me so angry, so I pulled out the paper I wrote on in the morning and threw it to my wife. At that time, I didn&#39;t say anything to her; Allah knows best.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">I hadn&#39;t intended for a divorce.
