Divorcing the wife and revoking Talaq without any witnesses

Q 1: My husband divorced me while I was pregnant saying, "You are divorced." One hour later he told me that he would revoke the Talaq (divorce pronounced by a husband). Nobody witnessed either the Talaq or the revocation. Two days later we had intercourse. Later on, we knew that two persons should witness the revocation of Talaq, so I told my parents about the matter of Talaq and its revocation approximately one year later.Was Talaq effective and valid when the husband said "You are divorced"? Was the revocation of Talaq valid? Was it obligatory to inform anybody other than my parents about what happened?


A: Your husband's saying "You are divorced" was an explicit Talaq and it counted as one pronouncement of Talaq. His revocation of Talaq was also valid unless this had not been the third Talaq. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
