[Fatwa no. 263]
Q: A man received some false letters against his wife, which he
believed to be true and gave his wife Talaq (divorce pronounced by a
husband) accordingly. Later, he learned that they were fabricated and asks
whether his Talaq is effective or not?
A: If the
reality is as mentioned that the husband divorced his wife only because of
these letters which he thought to be true, but
were then found to be false, his Talaq does not count.
This Talaq falls under the ‘conditional divorce’ which becomes
effective when a certain condition occurs and in this case, the condition has
not occurred.
May
Allah grant us success! May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet, his
family, and Companions!
