Question
My husband has separated himself from me for the past 4 years. Someone says that this amounts to an automatic Talaaq. Is our nikah still valid?
Answer
Since the husband did not make an oath of separation which is known as Eelaa', your marriage is still valid regardless of the years of separation.
