Are verbal divorces valid under Islamic law?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
My friend’s niece in writing divorced to her husband. Is this divorce valid or void? Please reply.

Answer

(Fatwa: 1181/763/L=1432)

If wife writes talaq, talaq will not take place. Shariah has given the right of talaq to the husband as it is mentioned in hadith:
الطلاق لمن أخذ الساق .

Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) knows Best
