Nikaah terminating after iddat
Question
Am I still a married woman after my husband gave me talaaq-e-rajee? I completed my iddah, but he refuses to divorce me from our civil marraige.
Answer
If your iddat has terminated and he did not revoke the talaaq during the iddat period, then you are out of his marriage. Hence, you are no longer his wife.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
