Does the divorce issued by the husband from another country to his wife count as a third divorce during her menstrual period, and is their relationship after that considered adultery? Is the wife sinful for leaving her children with their father while sending him messages to guide him regarding them? What should she do to prove the divorce, and is it permissible for her to file a lawsuit against him, and is she sinful if she remarries and leaves her children with him?
A man divorcing his wife while she is menstruating is forbidden, yet it is valid according to the majority of scholars, and this is the prevailing legal opinion. If the spouses agree to formalize the divorce in court, this is the correct approach. The financial support and housing of the children are obligatory upon the father if they do not possess private wealth. The obligation to provide housing for the custodian falls upon whoever is responsible for the financial support of the child, if she does not have private housing. The matter can be referred to the court if the husband refuses to formalize the divorce or abstains from providing financial support. There is no objection to the mother remarrying, and she must refrain from corresponding with her ex-husband to avoid problems.
