Nikaah & Marriage Issues

Wali for a Muslim who has no Muslim family members

Q: I was born in a Hindu family and later reverted to Islam. My family had broken all relation with me after knowing it. So I live alone and work in a company. I have received marriage proposal from a Muslim man whom I know for few years. I want to marry him but as I know, a wali is required for a woman to marry. Kindly inform me how to get married in this situation. Do I need to inform my family that I am getting married. They are already very angry after I accepted Islam. I fear that they would harm me.

Homosexual feelings

Q: I am a Muslim but I suffer from homosexual feelings. As per advice from many renowned scholars, I got married. I never disclosed this to my wife before marriage. I still have homosexual feelings. So I kept having these thoughts that I have deceived my wife. So I disclosed it to her and she is ok with it as she loves me a lot and I want to stay with her too. I would like to know if this marriage is valid in the eyes of Allah since I hid this truth from her. 

Marrying a divorced woman

Q: I want to marry a divorced girl and she has one daughter also. After marriage her parents will adopt the kid. As per that girl, her family will not disclose anything in front of my family. So, If I am hiding her background from my parents and my family, will this act be bad or good according to shariah as my intention is nikah and reward only.

Jokingly getting married

Q: When I was in school, I had been in a relationship and for fun my friends wrote a nikaah naama which included all the details like my parents' name, witnesses, lawyer, molvi (my friends pretended to be one of the characters). It even included the mahr. Then a female friend asked us separately if we accept each other as wife and husband thrice and we both said qubool hai 3 times. I had taken it as a joke and ignored it but now after several years, an aalimah I know told me that the nikkah was done at that time and I should either immediately tell my parents about this so that the nikaah would complete or ask the guy for divorce or else I would be doing a major sin. I want to confirm if I did get married or not.

Abortion due to illness and depression

Q: I have this quastion and I found nobody to give me an answer. I prayed but still I'm not getting anywhere. I would just like to have your opinion.

I'm a married woman with 6 kids and now I'm 7 weeks pregnant again. I live in uk where I dont have any help to raise the kids not financially alhamdullilah but my weakness. I dont have any more patience left to have another baby as the experience I got from my 6th child. I underwent severe depression and fear that I couldn't even have the baby on my own and had the c section and my previous pregnancy I had an emergency caesserian.

Becouse of taking care of my children I'm suffering from depression, fear and axiety that is severe. I'm being tranfered to a neurologist and I'm waiting for my appointment. This started since 2014. I'm having unexplanable headaches and pressure in my head. Honestly speaking, I cant take care of my last child. She is 2 yearsold. I hardly give her a bath or feed her. The major problem is that I dont feel like doing anything. I'm tired of this because since I started having children, I take care of them alone without any help from anybody as I dont have parents or relatives and my husband is one of those who cant do the kids responsibilities and the country I live in is everything up to me.

This lead to my health problems now that I'm becoming weaker and weak and going into deeper depression everyday. I keep doing hijama every month and seeking help here and there.

Now this pregnacy just took my life and I'm just in bed and dont feel like doing anything. I'm extremely depressed and I cant even take my tablets for depression because of this pregnany.

I cant my handle children because of my headaches which is why I need to see a neurologist as its not getting better. My gp insists that I have a rest or go on holiday. How will I rest while I have so many kids?

My mind is telling me to abort the pregnany and my husband is supporting the same as he knows how I suffer with illness... but we dont know if we are doing the right thing according to my situation. I keep looking for fatwas on websites but nothing is clear. The talk is only haram if you fear for poverty. But we dont suffer poverty alhamdullilah and not even financially. It is my weakness and illness. Please advise me what you think. 

Marrying a very young woman

Q: I got married for a second time to a woman who is 32 years younger to me. She married me with all her consent through court marriage 6 years ago and through this marriage Allah blessed us with a beautiful daughter. Recently her behaviour towards me has become very harsh and does not respect me anymore. Alhamdollilah as far as sexual part, it is quite satisfying for both of us.

My question is:

1. Have I committed a sin by marrying a woman 32 years younger than me? I am meeting all her demands successfully. Alhamdollilah by Allah’s blessings physically everything is satisfactory.

2. Can you please let me know how to guide my wife to start respecting me again?
