Question Summary:
I uttered the words “Talaq,Talaq,Talaq” not realising the consequences

Question Detail:

 Please could you provide the Hanafi guidance on the following. 1. My Nikah took place 3 weeks ago. 2. After Nikah, my wife and I did not spend anytime whatsoever in isolation. There was always at least one other person around. 3. Marriage was not consummated. 4. We did however hold hands and hugged for while saying goodbye at the airport. This included a kiss on the cheek. 5. The next day I left for another country. 6. A few weeks later, while alone in my apartment, talking to myself and thinking about something that made my mood swing, I uttered the words "Talaq,Talaq,Talaq" not realising the consequences. My questions are: A) Am I divorced from my wife? B) Can I remarry the same girl by performing a new Nikah? If so, are there any conditions? Jack eagerly waiting your response

Answer :

n the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
What were you thinking about when you uttered the three talaqs? Did you simply utter the words of talaq without referring them to your wife or you refer the giving of the talaqs to your wife.
