Question
A man gave his wife Talaaq before even consummating the marriage. Does this woman have to be in Iddat?
Answer
If the marriage was not consummated in terms of the Shariah, and the husband issued Talaaq, then there is no Iddat for this woman. Consummation according to the Shariah is also such privacy where sexual relations could take place even if it did not occur.
