(Fatwa: 248/248=M/1430)
In Islamic Shariah, husband owes the right to give talaq, wife cannot give talaq to her husband with her own consent only. And, when the talaq will not take place then it is useless to sit in iddah. You should file your case in any local Darul Qaza or Sharyi Panchayat if your husband did not fulfil your needs, in-shaAllah your grievance will be resolved.
