Can you explain this type of divorce. In.. More

Authorizing wife to issue divorce
Dear Brother/Sister. Assalaamu alaykum. I came across some articles in which it says that a man can give the right of divorce to his wife. Does that mean that if a man tells his wife during a fight: if you want to leave, then go, and, on the spot, since the wife is angry, she says, "Yes, I am leaving you," this counts as a divorce? Thank you for explaining.

Formats of divorce in Urdu
Assalaamu alaykum, Sheikh. In pakistani culture, if the husband says, 'I divorce you', it would count as a divorce no matter what his intentions were.

If he.. More

Authorizing wife to divorce herself does not cancel husband's right to divorce her
Assalaamu alaykum. We got married in the presence of two witnesses only, without a legal guardian and judge. The ceremony was done in the presence of witnesses along with the decided bridal gift.

Assalamu alaykum. A brother was witnessing two friends argue on an Islamic issue without knowledge.
