He denied the marriage contract then affirmed it; does that count as a talaaq (divorce)?
Question

                i had my nikkah 2 months back but then it was disclosed and my husbnd denied because he was afraid of his brother at first and then later on he accepted so am i in nikkah with him still ?
Praise be to Allah.
    
    Such a question cannot be answered without knowing the exact words uttered 
    by the husband or knowing what he intended and meant by those words – did he 
    intend by denying it to set himself free from his wife, because he was upset 
    at their spreading the news of the marriage? Or did he simply wants to 
    conceal the marriage without any intention of setting himself free from his 
    wife? 

    
    If he simply wanted to conceal his marriage, without any intention of 
    divorce, then that does not count as a divorce 

    
    The fuqaha’ (may Allah have mercy on them) discussed a similar issue. They 
    said: if a man is asked, “Do you have a wife?” and he replies “No,” but he 
    is lying, that does not count as a divorce. 

    
    Ibn Qudaamah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If it is said to him, “Do 
    you have a wife?” and he says, “No,” intending to lie, that does not imply 
    anything... because saying “I did not have a wife” could be a metaphor (for 
    divorce) if he had the intention of divorce. If he intended to tell a lie, 
    then he did not intend to divorce her and it does not count as such.

    Al-Bahooti (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If it is said to him, “Do you 
    have a wife?” and he says, “No,” intending to lie, he has not divorced her, 
    because it may be a metaphor (for divorce), and if he intended to tell a lie 
    and did not intend to divorce (then it does not count as divorce).

    
    End quote from Kashshaaf al-Qinaa‘, 5/247 

    
    Therefore if this man said, “So and so is not my wife,” if what he intended 
    by that was divorce, then it counts as such, but if he intended to conceal 
    the marriage, then it does not count as a divorce. 

    
    If he denied the marriage, such as if he said, “I did not marry So and so” 
    or “I did not do the marriage contract with So and so,” this wording is to 
    be regarded as a lie, and it does not count as a divorce. 

    
    And Allah knows best.
