Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Does Separation From Spouse Automatically Result in Divorce

If you have been separated from your husband for a period of time,

do you become Islamically divorced? Now remember, marriage

never expires on its own. This is a question that gets asked to me

quite often I get like a few of these questions a year at least,

which is that we haven't seen each other for this many years or

whatever the case is. We haven't slept together for this many will

be in different rooms, does that make a divorce? No marriage will

only expire through divorce, through dissolution by a judge, a

group, an arbitration panel or something of that nature, right?

So even Hola, is generally asking for a divorce based on some kind

of payment or something of that nature. So it's all that a

marriage is never going to end just by inactivity, because

marriage is supposed to be forever. It's supposed to go into

Janet, so to the hereafter, at least, so it's not going to ever

expire by inaction.
