Q: I am 19 years old and I got nikaah with a family friend. It was arranged. We both are married islamically but don't plan on getting a "rukhsati" or living together for the next 3-4 years until I finish my university. So nothings really changed for me, I still live with my family and he lives with his but we're married islamically. However, I regret my decision. We don't really click and I am not happy with him. I regret my decision a lot. I feel like I'm too young and I barely know myself. I want to find myself and just be a normal 19 year old girl going to university. I brought up divorce to my parents and they aren't taking it well at all. They are threatening me and abusing me for even thinking about disgracing them like that. I don't know what to do. should I go through with it and be unhappy for the reason of my life? or should I take a stand and risk getting disowned?

Q: Hope all is well. My question is, 'does reason support or refute the existence of God?' I have been asked this by my Christian friend and would appreciate an answer.

Q: I have been married for eight years. My wife is not interested in sex. We can go 5 to 6 months without being intimate. She never adorns herself or makes herself look attractive. It has become very difficult for me. I really don't want to split my family up by getting divorced. My question, am I in the right by getting a second Wife?

Q: If a husband is continuously involved in zina and is not even guilty of it, does the wife have a right to get separated? If yes, can she file a divorce instead of khula if such a right is given to her in her nikaah agreement? What are the regulations in relation to khula and divorce?

Q: My wife is seeking khula/divorce on the ground of alleged "irrevocable differences". I agree (reluctantly) provided she reimburses my mahr as well as other items of wedding and walima dresses and suites and other items of jewelleries. I have been waiting for the past six months but her (parents) have been non cooperative and belligerent in a sense, NO RESPONSE at all.

Initially they went to Islamic Sharia Council in London, UK and petitioned for divorce which I contested on the grounds that the cause of marriage was her (fraud on the grounds of illicit friendship outside our marriage) entirely her own fault. After a couple of months they decided to withdraw her petition from Islamic Sharia Council. She has now enlisted the help from Birmingham Central Mosque citing the same false accusations and demanding divorce. I will strongly contest on the same grounds. I will give her khula on condition that meets my certain conditions like the return of my mahr, my jewelleries and expensive items of clothing’s. From Islamic Sharia prospective am I right in my demand of my goods?

In a nutshell she wants a divorce from me because I CAUGHT HER RED HANDED with a "family friend" (not even a family friend but just a friend. She is not prepared to break up their friendhip for the sake of our marriage). Please advise me on where I stand.
