If A Wife Deserts Her Husband Marriage Will Not Be Nullified
Question: 1249
What is the iddah period of a woman who deserts her husband? Is the marriage
nullified, or must the husband pronounce the divorce, or does a kuli’ go into
effect?
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
;
If a woman deserts her husband, the marriage contract will not be nullified. It remains valid until
the husband divorces the wife, the wife gets a divorce (khul), or the Qaadi (judge ruling
according to Islamic shariah) annuls the marriage contract.
Allaah knows best.
