Question
We have problems in our relationship for more than 3 years now.More than a year ago my husband said 'I divorce you' three times in anger in one sitting. Someone told us that its not considered as divorce. It is only one divorce. We have no marital relationships since than. We still have a lot of problems between us what should we do?
Answer
If your husband issued you three divorces even in one sitting, it will be regarded as three and not one.
Your Nikah will with him has terminated from the time he issued you the divorce. You are not considered his wife anymore.
