Q: A few days back I was sitting with my kids and husband. He said to me that it’s your mistake that you didn’t give the kid anything to eat. I replied, “as you have already diagnosed it to be a mistake then i’ll not explain”. He said,”diagnosed, divorced.” I said what did you say. He repeated again divorced. I asked what do you mean. He said you said diagnosed. I said divorced, anthing else. According to him he just spoke a metaphor similar to the word diagnosed. He didn’t mean to divorce me. Kindly guide me whats the status of my marital status now?
A: If it was not directed at you then the divorce did not take place.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
