Unfaithfulness, Second Marriage, and the Validity of Nikah: My Story

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: My wife and I separated due to her being being unfaithful. She was pregnant with my child at that time and I didn’t issue her with her 3 Talaaqs. During the period of separation the guy she was caught with went and got one of his “contact moulanas” to do another nikah with my wife.

1. So I need to know what is that status of my marriage?

2. Is her second marriage valid?

3. If she wants to come back must we make nikaah again or I just take her back?

4. How do we go about reporting moulanas who mislead and do wrong things?

Bismillaah

A:

1 – 3. If you have not yet issued talaaq then she is still in your marriage.

4. You may refer your problem to some ulama body.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
