Question Summary:
Is it priority to follow the country law or Shar’ah?

Question Detail:

Some people said one should follow (bound) their countries rules. As our countries rule one can withdraw papers within 90 days after giving 3 talaq, so after withdrawing papers this marriage is valid. But Islami shariah said not that (this is haram relation after giving 3 talaqs). if countries rule not follow shariah , what will we do. We follow countries rule or sharia? 

Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
 
The Shar’i laws of divorce (talaq) are different from the civil laws of divorce. As Muslims, we are bound by the Shari’ah laws of talaq. Accordingly, if a husband issued his wife three talaqs, that will constitute talaq-e-mughallaza (a permanently irrevocable divorce). One cannot use the privilege of the secular system to withdraw a Shar’i talaq.[1]
