Wife telling the husband "I am divorcing you"
Question
I would like to know, if the wife tells you in front of the children, I am divorcing you, what are the consequences?
Answer
There is no consequence. The wife does not have the right at all to issue a divorce.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
