Putting money in an LIC policy

Q: My parents may have not been aware of LIC policy where we send money monthly and after many years we get back money with some extra amount. Now that extra amount is obviously interest (riba). As my parents have started that, they say that at last they will put the extra money in charity. Till then, we would be sending money.

Now because of us, the company would have to give extra money. Are we then responsible for his sin? Or we will be getting the same sin for him? In Quran ayah its mentioned that whoever eats riba after knowing its haram he will remain in hell forever.

1. Is this sin for us also because of him (company owner) giving us extra money? And due to us taking part in it, the owner would be little encouraged to continue his business. (As its obvious tht if a new customer comes in shop, the owner will be happy and would like to do more buisness) Then if the owner does more buisness and more people join the LIC policy. Now bcz of us many people joined and they may eat riba. Are we gonna get same sin of them (hell forever)?

Marital problems

Q: I'm married for 2 years. After nikkah I shifted to my husband in Germany. After marriage we realized that we are two different people. I wanted his love but he said that he is not attracted to me. This thing frustrated me alot and left me in a condition of stress and depression. We had no intimate relation. We had so many arguments and fights because we were not having the basic relation. When I saw that he cares about other relations and friendsand they are very important in his life and it does not matter whether I'm present in his life or not. I couldn't take on the ignorance and lack of love from my husband anymore and moved back to my parents. His parents, relatives and friends advised him alot that he should fulfill my rights. After three months my husband contacted me and said that for the sake of his parents he wants me to come back. He'll give me respect and we'll have kids but he doesn't love me. I'm very much confused about my decision. What should I do according to Islamic teachings? At this point it is very difficult for me to trust my husband. Should I take a decision of khula or should I give it another chance?
