Question
My wife obtained a civil divorce from a secular court. Is this counted as a Talaaq? We have been separated for five years.
Answer
The 'divorce' of a civil court is not valid. The Nikah remains intact despite the five year separation. Only Talaaq or an annulment (Faskh) by an Ulama body will cancel the Nikah.
