My friend had sent a message to her sister pronouncing 1 Talaq to wife. Sister informed the family about this but his brother wife is not aware about it. This happened before consummating the marriage but being alone together multiple times. He sent the message on 18th Feb 2024. We are trying to reconcile but want to be sure if the marriage can be saved Islamically and how much time we have. Marriage is not consummated yet and my friend did not gave any Talaq after the first message on 18th Feb. In the message he had mentioned the Talaq one time. Please guide us



بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

As they were both together alone in privacy where intercourse could have taken place the ruling of divorce will apply as a full Mahr must be given and she would need to wait for her Iddat period. If however, they want to reconcile the husband can do Ruju (retract) during her Iddat period.
