Dealing with Marriage Difficulties: Impotence, Talaq, and Seeking Help

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q:

My husband and I have been having major difficulties in our marriage for a number of reasons for the last year. However last week we had a terrible fight. In this fight he told me that I must F… Off. I have been advised that this counts a one Talaq. Is this the case?

My 2nd questions is that my husband is impotent. I have asked him many times to seek medical assistance as this has been going on for many years. He however says that he is scared and doesn’t want to go. To be honest this is a major source of unhappiness for me and a major contributing factor as to why we cannot overcome our difficulties. We no longer have a connection. I feel terrible resentment towards him for not even as least attempting to get help. When we have our fights and I say I am leaving he always says he is going to commit suicide and I get scared and decide not to leave. But this is now affecting my health and I feel oppressed and don’t know which direction to go. What are my rights regarding this.

Bismillaah

A:

1. If he had intended talaaq then it will be one talaaq-e-baain.

2. Ask for a separation and move on with your life.

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