Is a divorce that takes place via a mobile phone message valid, given the absence of a divorce certificate and the passage of four months since the divorce?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Such a case requires the court because it concerns an absent individual. The written divorce is considered an implicit divorce that takes effect if the husband intended it. A divorce issued by the husband is valid even if it is not registered in court. Since verifying the husband's intention and his position is difficult for the Mufti, it is necessary to refer the matter to the Sharia judge.
