The ruling on a husband who denies the divorce and there are no witnesses with the wife
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this is a woman from Europe asking, and she says: Her husband divorced her, then he denied the divorce, and she has no witnesses. Her question is: What should she do while she is in those lands?
Answer:
If she claims the divorce against him and does not bring evidence, his statement is not accepted against him. She remains his wife until the divorce is proven, either by his admission or by the testimony of upright witnesses who testify that he divorced her. However, the jurists say that if she is certain that he divorced her, but he denies it and she has no evidence, then he must seek a ruling and she must flee. She flees from him and evades him until he releases her; she must not give him access to herself. Yes.
