Answer

(Fatwa: 266/171/L=1431)

Talaq given in written form also takes place, as many talaq one will give the same number of talaqs will take place. If you send us the divorce paper, we can determine how many talaqs you gave. After talaq, the husband has to give the maintenance until her iddah is over, thereafter the woman shall have no claim of right upon her ex-husband.
