Question : #112

Subject:	is my divorce valid?
Question:	I have a problem, I was married and after a few years we decided to divorce, but we didn't divorce through the Shar'ia law as it was mutual agreement between us. Now after many many years I am remarried with someone else conducted through Islamic law, but what's my responsibility with my first wife, keep in mind the ex-wife does not wish to cooperate with me
Answer:	Salaam alaykum, If you did not conduct the Shari' divorce you are still married to her. If you want you can divorce her Islamically or reconcile.
