Question
I had a disagreement with my husband, and he said to me: (You are acting like a man, just divorce me!) I understood that he was delegating me to divorce myself, so I asked him: Are you delegating me to divorce, or to divorce myself? He said: Yes. I said: Then I am divorced. Knowing that my husband claims that he wanted to prevent me from divorcing; because I was angry, and he does not believe in the validity of a woman's delegation in divorce, so did the divorce take place or not?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It appears from the statement when he said to you: Yes, that he has delegated you to divorce yourself, and your divorce from yourself is valid and will take effect. However, you should consult the mufti to confirm the situation, and God knows best.
