Your wife has become unlawful to you and has been irrevocably divorced (Bainunah Kubra). She is not permissible for you unless she marries a valid marriage and her husband consummates the marriage with her, and then divorces her. This marriage must be a marriage of desire, not one for the purpose of making her lawful (tahlil). The utterance of divorce in a non-Arabic language is explicit according to the well-known . It is advisable to encourage the woman towards Islam and introduce her to Islamic centers and seek assistance from righteous women, for guiding one man is better than red camels.
