Q: A man divorced his wife with 3 talaaqs. Months later after her iddat, she remarries another man. However, after the nikaah she changes her mind and the man divorces her. They did not consumate the nikaah. Can she marry her first husband?
A: No. She has to consummate the nikaah and only after that if she receives a divorce from the second husband and then sits in iddat can she remarry the first husband.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
