Does a divorce that the wife did not hear uttered take effect, and is it permissible to supplicate against her after her disobedience to her husband, her abandonment of him, and her taking of his money?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If you utter the words of divorce to your wife, the divorce takes effect, even if she or others do not hear you. However, if it is merely a thought to oneself, then nothing takes effect thereby. It is permissible for you to supplicate against your wife to the extent of her wrongdoing if she has unlawfully taken your money.
