Q: My husband and I have faced many issues with our marriage, so much so that he would shout out in anger and frustration 'divorce' many times. A scholar advised me that he has female emotions and tendencies so the power of him giving me divorce is taken away. (He gave me the example of a woman not having the power to give divorce due to her emotions), in which case is he allowed to marry again whilst he is married to me. If he doesn't have the power to divorce me due to his female tendencies, surely he can't have the power to marry more than once at any given time. I would be grateful for any advise.

Q: A couple bought a house in both their names, shared the deposit and took finance jointly. Subsequently the husband gave her one or two talaaqs and she completed her iddat. Thereafter the couple planned to re-marry. Her condition for the second re-marriage was that the mahr must be the house that was jointly purchased, so that she has full power to the house.

The question that is being asked is that is it possible to give a house on bond as mahr, considering that the payments are in arrears. The bank wants to auction the house. So is it permissible to give this house as mahr, the house is not paid for yet, so ownership still remains with the bank until fully paid for.
