Question

Does tearing marriage photos count as a divorce? For example, if a husband tears up a marriage photo after a dispute with his wife in the past but does not remember why the photo was ripped in the first place, does this lead to anything?

Answer

Tearing marriage photos does not cause talaaq to take place.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
