Pronounced
divorce upon my wife once in front of a judge
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question:
I divorced my wife after some problems which occurred between
us, and after she went to her family house I instigated a
case against her (in a Sharee'ah court). After three meetings
(in which I) attempted to take her back to my house, she refused.
I then pronounced one divorce upon her in front of the judge,
keeping in mind that I have three young children with her,
and she is currently with her family and the children are
with me and I have given up on her (returning). However, is
the pronouncing of one divorce sufficient, since the judge
gave her a document accordingly, or should I pronounce a second
divorce on her?
Response:
Sufficient for you is the (single) divorce you have pronounced
upon her, and all prasie is for Allaah (alone), and do not
pronounce divorce upon her more than this.
