Q: I have a sister. She was married then her husband gave her talaaq. She supposed to sit in idda for 3 months. She told us she did, but unfortunately she didn’t sit in iddah. She lied to us and now she is already married to someone else. Is her second marriage valid?
A: If the period of iddat had passed and thereafter she married, the nikaah will be valid.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
