السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ Mufti sahb, I’ll go straight to the point as I can understand your busy life. I was married, Because of some problems my wife stopped eating for three days because she wanted me to give her talaq.. that was becoming a serious situation and threat, so I had to do it! Does it count as a talaq? I’m asking this because I gave other two talaqs willingly and I’m considering to go back to her because of my children and I may only get back if the forced one didn’t count.. I hope to get an answer soon because I’m at a very critical condition. Jazakallah Regards Muhammad Ibrahim

الجواب حامداومصليا

A divorce pronounced by the husband when he is forced or compelled by a family member or anyone regardless of the nature of force used, a Talaq will occur. So altogether three Talaq has taken place. Without the process of Halala your wife will not be able to go back to you.

Halala process: qa.muftisays.com/?5146
