How can one return to her husband after two verbal divorces and tearing up the document that proves the 'urfi marriage, and are two witnesses sufficient to prove the return?
The marriage contract is valid if it fulfills its conditions and pillars. Its non-registration in Sharia courts does not invalidate it. Similarly, the non-payment of the dowry at the time of the contract does not affect its validity, unless there was an agreement to waive it before the contract. If the husband wishes to take back his divorced wife while she is still in her waiting period (iddah), this does not require a new contract or dowry; it suffices for him to say: "I take you back to my marriage," and it is recommended to have witnesses to this. We also emphasize that a woman's request for divorce without a valid reason is forbidden in Islamic law.
