Q: Some one issues a divorce to his wife due to pressure from family, but the person doesn’t want to give it; the wife is pregnant also and she doesn’t know about the divorce. But after that the man wants to make rujoo (take her back in marriage). What is the ruling?

A: The divorce issued is valid. If a Talaaq Raj’ee was issued then he can make Rujoo during the Iddat period. Her Iddat will end when she gives birth. So he will have to make Rujoo any time before she gives birth.
