Question
A Sunni Muslim couple have marital issue, last Ramadhan the wife went for congregational Taraweeh Salaah in nearby Masjid with the husband’s female relative. The husband got upset and issued a text message ” … I AM NOT YOUR HUSBAND, GO LOOK FOR ANOTHER HUSBAND… “.
What is the interpretation of the above statement ?
Jazak’Allah khair
Yours brother in Islam
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
In principle, if the husband utters a word or a statement that has dual or multiple meanings and some of the meanings could mean divorce (talaaq), then divorce will take place only if the husband intended divorce with the word or statement. In that instance, one talaaqe-baain (irrevocable divorce) will take place, which terminates the nikaah immediately.
Talaaq-e-Baain is an irrevocable divorce where the husband uses ambiguous words or phrases to divorce his wife, for example, get out, I don’t want you, pack your bags etc.
The implication of Talaaq-e-Baain is once the husband issues his wife a Talaaq-e- Baain, she has to sit in Iddah. If the husband wishes to take back his wife, he may do so only after renewing the Nikah. [1] Accordingly, if the husband intended divorce with the statement ‘I AM NOT YOUR HUSBAND, GO LOOK FOR ANOTHER HUSBAND’ then one talaaqe-baain (irrevocable divorce) will take place.

إذَا كان الطَّلَاقُ بَائِنًا دُونَ الثَّلَاثِ فَلَهُ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَهَا في الْعِدَّةِ وَبَعْدَ انْقِضَائِهَا وَإِنْ كان الطَّلَاقُ ثَلَاثًا في الْحُرَّةِ وَثِنْتَيْنِ في الْأَمَةِ لم تَحِلَّ له حتى تَنْكِحَ زَوْجًا غَيْرَهُ نِكَاحًا صَحِيحًا وَيَدْخُلَ بها ثُمَّ يُطَلِّقَهَا أو يَمُوتَ عنها كَذَا في الْهِدَايَةِ وَلَا فَرْقَ في ذلك بين كَوْنِ الْمُطَلَّقَةِ مَدْخُولًا بها أو غير مَدْخُولٍ بها كَذَا في فَتْحِ الْقَدِيرِ
الهداية في شرح بداية المبتدي (2/ 257)
وإذا كان الطلاق بائنا دون الثلاث فله أن يتزوجها في العدة وبعد انقضائها ” لأن حل المحلية باق لأن زواله معلق بالطلقة الثالثة فينعدم قبله ومنع الغير في العدة لاشتباه النسب ولا اشتباه في إطلاقه ” وإن كان الطلاق ثلاثا في الحرة أو ثنتين في الأمة لم تحل له حتى تنكح زوجا غيره نكاحا صحيحا ويدخل بها ثم يطلقها أو يموت عنها
