Title:  know that giving or demanding divorce is a big sin. I have unintentionally signed divorce papers without knowing that divorce will take place even if I signed the divorce papers. When I came to know this I was shocked & depressed as I never intended to divorce my wife because I love her alot. I requested her to come back to my life as it was talaq-e-bain. But she refused thinking it was intentional divorce. My question is : Pleaes let me know if the sin of divorce is me or on my wife? Becuaes I was honest, as Allah knows, when I requested her to come back & I heard if she refuse to come back then the sin of divorce will be on her.

Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 232/184/L=1431)

Since you have given the Talaq in ignorance, therefore you will not be doing any sin. The woman got out of marital relation with you, so there is no sin on her as well if she is not ready to marry you again.
