Told
my wife: "I do not want you"
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question:
I married a pious woman when I was young, and after appproximately
three weeks of marriage I said to my wife: "I do not
want you" several times, and "tell your father:
I
do not want you".
And now I do not know if this statement I made to my wife
constitutes a divorce or not? Keeping in mind that I did not
intend (by it) a divorce. And if she is (however) divorced,
do I enter a contract with her for the second time via a new
contract? (Kindly) guide me (and) may Allaah reward you with
good.
Response:
This statement (in itself) does not constitute a divorce if
it was done without an intention (to divorce her). So your
wife remains under your protection and there is nothing required
of you (in terms of compensation or the like).
