| Question: Is my nikah still valid? | |
| During a very heated argument, in a fit of anger i threatened my wife to be silent in 5 seconds else i would divorce her. She continued arguing so after the count i silently walked away. I did not say the divorce or talaq which i threatened her with, i just walked away. Is my nikah still valid? | |

'I would divorce you' or 'I will divorce you' (or words in future tense) is a promise to issue Talaaq and does not constitute Talaaq. The Talaaq is not effected as you were merely expressing your intention in the future tense. Nonetheless, be careful in future about such things.
