Nikah (Marriage) - Talaaq (Divorce) The Majlis Vol 28 No 08, p.6

My husband has separated himself from me for the past 4 years.

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.
