Wife not receiving divorce papers
Question
3 years ago my marriage was done with my husband and because of some misunderstandings and circumstances we live separate from each other. Now it's 2 and half years since we are living separate from each other. In this time he tried to give me talaq but I didn't accept, he said that he sent divorce papers to me (but I didn't receive it) and signed it not read it. Is our divorce done or not?
Answer
The divorce is valid.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
