Question
Seventeen years ago while being drunk, I gave my wife three Talaaqs. We continued living normally thereafter. Now someone informed me that our relationship is haraam. What is the state of my nikah?
Answer
You have been living in the state of zina (adultery) since 17 years. Regardless of having uttered Talaaq three times in the state of drunkenness, all three Talaaqs are valid. You should repent (make Taubah) and immediately separate yourself from her. Your nikah ended 17 years ago.
