Staying out the house without husband's permission is recalcitrance
I am from Saudi Arabia. I have been married for the last six years (since 2009) with one daughter and one son. Every year, I visit India two or three times and leave my wife at her parents home for four to eight days. This time, we were going for the Eid to India, and I took three weeks off. I told her several times that I would send her for one week.. More

An ambiguous case of multiple divorces
I pronounced the divorce several times out of ignorance or confusion due to what shaykhs were telling me. All utterings were at the urging of my wife while I was just going along with her wishes. An imam told me that I can take her back anytime and I wrongly assumed that I can divorce and take her back as many times as I want. Also, to the best of my.. More

Her husband does not live with her without a valid reason
Assalaamu alaykum. My question is about a husband being away from his wife without valid reasons. My husband allowed me to move from his state to be with my son in another state.

She is married but her ex-husband claims that she is still his wife
Assalaamu alaykom, I was married in 2008 as a second wife. My husband and I had many arguments; on one occasion, he divorced me twice with the words of talaq (divorce).

A woman is not obliged to tell people how many times she was divorced
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaah. If you have been divorced more then once, is it necessary to tell people or is it ok to mention that you have been divorced but not how many times?

Thinking that one's fiancée is like his mother does not constitute thihaar
Assalaamu alaykum. My question is the following: I thought about my fiancée that she could be like my mother a few hours after a light argument that her and I had on the phone. Is this thihaar? Is it still permissible for me to marry her? I did not say it out loud neither took an oath, but I do remember clearly thinking it in my head, or perhaps I.. More

However, her family insisted.. More

I had no intention of divorce, but reluctantly answered "yes". I had effectively lied to my wife, and only answered yes to give her assurance that I would not look.. More

He discovered that his wife is not as decent as he thought she was
Assalaam alaykum. My question is the following: I was engaged with a girl for four years, and then I married her just a few months ago. The reason that I got engaged and married was based upon her practicing her religion, like observing the ijab and so on. During our engagement, I never saw her not observing the hijab in front of any non-mahram (permanently.. More

Divorce is effective in an invalidly consummated marriage
Assalaamu alaykum Shaykh. I married a girl without her guardian, and one day, in anger, I said to her, "I divorce you, I divorce you, I divorce you." I asked this from you before and got the fatwa that if one got married according to the Hanafi way, then it is valid, however, there are two opinions for divorce; some scholars say that it counts as one..

She wants khul' to marry a man she loves in silence
I have been married for the past nine years. During this period, my husband has treated me in the worst way. He never spent on me or my children.

He is very cruel to me, uses abusive language, and beats me sometimes. I.. More

Ruling on husband's oath never to accept his wife
Assalaamu alaykum. I recently got married. This marriage was against my husband's will. He took an oath on the Quran, in the name of Allah, that he will never accept me as his wife in this life. Please help, what should I do now. Is this considered a divorce under the 'eelaa'form or just a divorce? Should I end this relation? Please help.

Assalaamu alaykum. I have been married for ten years and have two boys with my husband. I found out after we got married that he is a drug addict and has a daughter.

Seeking khul' from an abusive, ungrateful husband
Assalaamu alaykum. I have been married to my husband for more than nine years. After our marriage, I came to know that he was jobless. I was a school principal, so I continued my job.
