Before the marriage it was openly agreed between the husband and family members that if he assaults her, then it will constitute Talaaq. After the marriage, he assaulted her.

Q The Majlis has severely criticized Maulana Ilyas Ghumman although he appears to be a staunch defender of the Deobandi Ulama. Is he not a defender of the Haqq?

A. Do not be deceived by this deceit. His 'defence' of the Ulama of Deoband is an outer veneer to gain recognition which is necessary for the attainment of his worldly and nafsaani agendas. Many senior Ulama of Pakistan have severely criticized this mudhiel for his shenanigans. Among these Ulama are Mufti Zarwali, Hadhrat Maulana Saleemullah (Rahmatullah alayh), Hadhrat Maulana Ahmad Ludhianvi (Rahmatullah alayh), Maulana Abu Bakr Ghazipuri (Rahmatullah alayh), and Darul Uloom Deoband.

This character was involved in some evil scandals which we do not deem appropriate to publish. He is a wolf in sheep's skin or a shaitaanul ins (human devil).

new husband had divorced her, only then will her marriage to her former husband be valid.

The 'open agreement' does not constitute Talaaq. Only if the husband had specifically said that if he assaults his wife, then it will constitute Talaaq - only then will it be Talaaq.

If the husband had in fact suspended Talaaq on the condition mentioned above, then the very first time he had assaulted her, the Talaaq came into force. This is one Talaaq Raj'i (Revocable Talaaq). Since they reconciled before expiry of the Iddat, the Nikah remains valid.

After the first conditional Talaaq came into force, the condition no longer has validity for the future. Hence, when they again fought, Talaaq did not come into effect. The Nikah is still valid.
