Talaaq using the words “Our marriage is not going well.”
Question
Mentioning the words to ones spouse, “Our marriage is not going well.” with the intention of divorce, be counted as a divorce?
Answer
In the above case, Talaaq will not take place, as the words used indicate that the Nikah is not perfect but there is some degree of deficiency. [Re:- Fataawa Darul Uloom Zakariyya Pg.148 Vol.4]
