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

 <\/p>\n

My wife wants to know if our marriage is still valid. <\/span>About 3 years ago we had a really bad argument and my wife was saying extremely bad things about my mum and dad.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As you can imagine was at state where I couldn’t control my words and when I was doing. <\/span>Out of extreme anger I text her to say she was divorced, I didn’t say it to her face to face. A<\/span>t the time she was away at her mums house and I was at my family home. S<\/span>ince then we have had argument’s but not mentioned such thing.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

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

 <\/p>\n

The current validity of your marriage will depend on how much time passed between your message of Talaq and reconciling. If you rescinded the divorce and reconciled or had relations with her prior to the completion of her Iddah, i.e. the passing of three periods, then your marriage remains intact, although one Talaq has now occurred [1].<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If a full Iddah passed prior to you reconciling, then Talaq Ba\u2019in has occurred, meaning you are required to remarry her with a new Nikah and Mahr, and you are not deemed married until you have done so [2].<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All of this is provided your text message of Talaq was clear in stating that she was divorced. If your wording of divorce was ambiguous, you would be required to remarry regardless of how long passed [3].<\/span><\/p>\n
