Question
Ten years ago my husband gave me three Talaaqs. We continued living together. I have now decided to separate. Do I have to observe iddat?
Answer
If you are living with the man who had given you three Talaaqs, then you are living in the state of adultery. It is haraam and zina for you to live with him. Your Nikah ended 10 years ago when he had uttered the three Talaaqs in the way you have described. Your Iddat too had ended 10 years ago even though you had not remained at home during the iddat period. If you are living with this man, then immediately separate yourself from him. Every minute with him is a zina relationship.
