Does divorce occur by phone in a state of anger due to the wife's request for divorce because of delayed marriage? What is the ruling on seclusion, kissing, and touching without intercourse? Is 'iddah (waiting period) obligatory? Is reconciliation permissible without a new marriage contract? What is the ruling on registering the marriage contract in the Sharia court as official documents without a new contract? Is the marriage invalid, and what is the solution?

Divorcing a wife before consummation or valid seclusion is an irrevocable divorce, meaning she cannot be taken back unless with a new marriage contract. Valid seclusion is that in which sexual intercourse is possible. As for mere touching and kissing behind a door, with no assurance against others entering, that is not valid seclusion. Therefore, taking her back without a new contract is not permissible. A renewal of the contract, with all its conditions, is necessary, and the guardian may appoint someone to perform the marriage contract in the husband's country.
