Question: Khulaa, Talaaq and Remarriage (edited)
Assalamualaikum WRWB,

I have a question regarding Tafreeq (Dissolution of Marriage) and reunification.

I was married to my ex-husband for 12 years. We have 2 children from this marriage.
My ex-husband and I had been separated for 2 years from 2020 to 2022. In Dec 2022, I obtained Tafreeq (Dissolution of Marriage) from Imams of Islamic Council in Australia. The Imams advised me to obtain Australian legal divorce first, which was granted in October 2022. This was part of Islamic Divorce (Tafreeq) process, they made contact with my ex-husband at 3 different times within the timeframe of 10 months as it was part of their process for mediation. My ex-husband didn’t respond to their messages. It took almost 10 months for this process to complete and it went to judgement phase at which after an interview with the Imams I was given Tafreeq in Dec 2022. I was advised to complete Iddah for 1 month.

Under Pakistani Law in order to get married again, one has to register Divorce. In June 2023, my ex-husband wished to remarry, therefore, he registered divorce in Pakistan Union Council believing that Tafreeq (Dissolution of Marriage) has already taken place. Although, he had no intentions of giving the divorce.

I have intention of reunifying with my ex-husband and would like to know if I still have a chance based on Tafreeq and registration of divorce.

Since Tafreeq had already been taken FIRST, will the registration of divorce have any effect on the chance of reunification? 

Appreciate your kind response to help understand my chances.

Assalamualaikum

As the Tafreeq was issued this will be counted as a divorce and later he registered a divorce then this will also be counted. Now he has one Talaq left. After your Iddat period you may marry him.

And Allah knows best
