![]() ![]() ![]() Here and in the rulings below, expressions such as “the wife is divorced” or “the divorce is effected” mean just one of the three times necessary to finalize it unless the husband intends a two or threefold divorce or repeats the words three times. When the husband says: “I divorce you” or “You are divorced,” the wife is immediately divorced whether he has made the intention. Using plain words to effect a divorce means expressly pronouncing the word divorce (in any language) or terms derived from it. Simple words cause divorce whether one intends it or not, while allusive words do not render it unless one intends to divorce. The words that effect a divorce may be plain or allusive. Saying, “our relationship is finished,” is an allusive expression and only counts as a divorce if one intended it as divorce at the time of saying it, and Allah knows best. His word should be accepted if he says he did not intend to divorce. May Allah guide every dimension of our lives to that which pleases Him. In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful and Compassionate.
