Question
The husband says that he said to his wife: "I will Talaaq you.". He said so thrice. The wife claims that she is 100% sure that he said: "I divorce you." He said so thrice. Whose word should be taken? What is the state of the marriage?
Answer
If the wife is 100% sure that the husband had said: "I have divorced you, or I divorce you", thrice, then THREE Talaaq have come into effect. Regardless of what the husband now says, as long as she is 100% certain, she should reject his claim and separate herself. The Shariah entitles her to reject the word of her husband if she is 100% sure of her claim.
