Assalaam Alaikum,
I gave my wife Talaq. She and her family believe the talaq is invalid because:
1. I didn’t do arbitration (I just thought about it for one week prayed istikhara and told them the day before that I would give talaq the next day).
2. they believe I am sexually frustrated (we are in different countries).
She was not on her menses, we did not have intercourse since her menses (we are in seperate countries)
I have spoken to two scholars, both have confirmed the Talaq is valid.
Could you please address the issues with evidences and explanation so that I might show my wife and her family so they can accept iddah has started and the talaq is valid.
Thank you.
