Divorce in one sitting

03 May 2019 Ref-No#: 1616

Aoa.. my husband divorce me thrice in one sitting and as it was a secret nikkah (which is so wrong) so there was no paper work included.. so after this we stopped talking and after a year girl got married somewhere else.. now in some discussion with someone she gets to know that divorce in not valid in state of menses.. the problems is now both the guy and girl can’t remember if she was on menses or not. What step should a girl take now?
Should she take divorce again and re marry with her husband?

Answer

Wa’alaykum as Salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,

Divorce issued whilst the wife is in menses is valid and binding.

In this case, the woman who was divorced does not have to do anything. She can remain in her second wedlock, and does not have to return to her first husband.
