Question
I said to my wife in anger: 'Get out! Go to your parents! A friend said that these statements represent Talaaq. My intention was not Talaaq. Is my nikah valid?
Answer
The words you had uttered would have been Talaaq Baa-in if you had the intention of divorce. Since Talaaq was not your intention, divorce did not occur.
Statements such as: 'Get out! Take your clothes and go!, Go to your parents, etc., etc. Will be Talaaq Baa-in only if there is the intention of Talaaq. Talaaq Baa-in immediately terminates the nikah. However, the Nikah may be renewed if the woman consents.
