Engaged in Sexual Relation After Iddah: Can We Remarry?

 


If you did have sexual relation with your wife after the expiry of iddah, then you are guilty of a major offence; it is adultery.

I advise both of you to seek repentance and beg for Allah’s mercy.

Once you have repented, you may re-marry by going through the standard requirements, since it was the first divorce.

Having said this, I should also advise you never to use words of divorce jestingly.

You may seek marriage counseling and try to reconcile your differences amicably so that you won’t end up repeating the same mistakes again.

Allah Almighty knows best.
