What is the ruling on the divorce of one who is compelled?

Question:
A message was received for the program from the listener Rashid Muhammad Saleh al-Zarqa, who says: I am an elderly man. I married my wife’s sister after my wife passed away. She is also elderly and a widow. After four months had passed, she asked me for a divorce, without any reason, and Allah is a witness to what I say. This compelled me to divorce her out of necessity. After a period of one week, she reconsidered and returned. She stayed for a period not exceeding one month, and then she repeated the same thing, asking for a divorce again. It is known that the aforementioned woman and I were involved in a car accident, which affected her mental state. O noble Shaykh! I divorced her against my will. Do I have the right to take her back? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
We advise you to consult your local mufti or judge. He will look into the matter, and, if Allah wills, the mufti or judge will meet with you, the woman, and her guardian to ask you about the details of the situation, and then he will issue a ruling for you, if Allah wills.
