Q: I am Australia based. After a long sour relationship I divorced my ex-wife. She has completed her iddat now. I re-married back home and want to bring my new wife to Australia. But my ex. Wife is refusing to sign civil divorce papers and persistent to spend 12 months separation time. I believe it is not fair to stop a married couple to meet and live together. May I request you to please advise if my ex. wife's conduct is valid under Shar'iah law? Is she allowed to cause delays in adjoining of a legitimate married couple? Looking forward to your instructions.

Q: I have observed in many countries that people marry and stay with their wives for a month or two and then they go to other countries for work and they come back to their wives after two or three years for a month or two and then again go back. My question is that is this the correct way of spending life with family especially wives? Is this the correct way of spending a married life according to Islam? Please answer my question to clear my concept about this issue.

Q: I have been married for 10 years and have 2 children aged 1 and 3. My husband and I fight constantly because he has a bad temper. He smokes weed and hangs around with non muslim friends. He has never beaten me so that I have marks but has struck me and pushed me while holding my baby. He has always tried to kick me out of the house but my mother in law has intervened and allowed me to stay. If he says he wants a divorce and I should leave, what are his responsibilities towards his children as we do not have anywhere to go and I cannot afford to rent a place on my salary.
