Does divorce take place if a text message is received from the husband's phone stating "divorced thrice," while he denies sending it, no consummation has occurred, and there were previous intimate conversations between the spouses?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If a husband writes down his wife's divorce, and he intends for it to take effect, the divorce takes effect. If he does not intend it, it does not take effect. If a divorce message reaches the wife from her husband's phone, and the husband denies writing it, then the divorce does not take effect, as it is possible that someone else wrote and sent it. His word is accepted unless there is evidence to the contrary, and in this case, the woman cannot provide evidence. The husband must be truthful in his statement.
