A man addressed his wife saying, "You are ṭāli’" (ending with a hamza), rather than using the word "ṭāliq" (ending with the letter qāf). It is worth adding that he does not normally pronounce the qāf as a hamza, and that he said that phrase jokingly. In this situation, does divorce take effect?

If a man said to his wife, "Consider yourself divorced," and he intended a divorce, and the wife agreed to the divorce. Also, if she said to him, "Divorce me," and he replied to her saying, "Consider yourself divorced"; fulfilling her request, is it correct to say that silence cannot be attributed to a statement, and therefore we apply to her the decision of the Court of Appeal No. (60028), which is that the divorce is not valid because this word is not considered one of the words of divorce, or do we effect one instance of divorce upon her, especially since this word has many possibilities, and there may be many decisions for this word in the courts, so what is the ruling of Sharia on that?

A woman who has not reached the age of menopause, according to Islamic Sharia, (55 years according to the Hanafi school of thought) has undergone a hysterectomy, either total or partial. It is known that this situation is not addressed in the Jordanian Personal Status Law, so we cannot classify her as menopausal, young girl, woman experiencing menstruation on regular basis, or from among those who have menstruated once or twice and then their menstruation stopped. Should we rule that her Iddah* ends only when she reaches the age of 55, given the possibility of menstruation resuming? Or should we measure it based on a prepubescent girl who does not menstruate or an elderly woman whose menstruation has ceased, making her waiting period three months? This is especially since comparing her to a prepubescent girl is difficult due to the impossibility of seeing menstruation even once, and comparing her to an elderly woman contradicts the scholars' statement that the age of menopause is 55 years?
