Question:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My husband has asked me several times to take divorce from him. Is our Nikah valid now or not?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Merely asking for a divorce does not constitute a divorce, it must be explicitly pronounced. The right to divorce solely belongs to the husband, so a wife cannot divorce herself unless the husband gives her one or more of his Tal\u0101q\u2019s and she uses them within a specified timeframe.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If he says to his wife, \u201cChoose me,\u201d intending divorce by that, or he says to her, \u201cDivorce yourself,\u201d then she has the right to divorce herself as long as she remains in that place, even if it lasts a day or more, as long as she does not get up from it or take up other work.<\/span><\/p>\n
