Talaaq

Annulling the nikaah

Q: Does Islam allow a Muslim woman to get her nikah annulled from an Islamic court without her husband's consent and when the man is refusing in the situations mentioned as under?

Her husband is an ill intentioned and greedy person who also emotionally blackmails his wife and in laws to grant him co ownership of an asset which the family gifted to their daughter.

After getting married, the woman got to know her husband is actually a homosexual with no interest in women. He married his wife out of societal pressure. 

Before getting married, the man deceived the woman and her family about his social status claiming to possess a good job when in reality his situation was very different. Had the girl known the truth she would not have married him. 

The man has two wives but does not deal with them equitably. prefers one over the other in terms of time allocation and material provisions, neither is he willing to change himself.

Husband telling his wife "from now on if you tell a lie then divorce"

Q: My husband said in an argument when he was in a lot of anger because I hide some things from him. He said from now on if you tell a lie then divorce. And asked me to say these words from my mouth but I refused and started crying. So after that incident we are living happily but telling a lie means smaller lies or hiding daily basic routine things to him. So in that case I have tell lies in daily routine. After one years time, like I hide somethings, that spoil his mood so in that case is our divorce happen or not?

Faskh of nikaah

Q: In shariah law there is a system called Faskh e Nikah which allows a woman who is abused in a marital relationship and has legitimate reasons to end the marriage can do so through a judicial decree without consent of her husband. 

I would like to know is this system proven from Quran, Sunnah and Hadith? 

Secondly, what are the legitimate reasons that will allow a Muslim woman to exercise her right to annul the marriage through this system ?

Husbands telling his wife "you are free" without intending divorce

Q: There was an argument over a mobile message. My wife said, "Leave me." I told her not to say that, but she repeated, "Leave me." I replied, "You are free," but I had no intention of divorce, nor did I know that saying such words could lead to a divorce. Later, my wife told me that I had used the wrong words. After that, we reconciled. 

Four months later, during another argument about household chores, my wife said, "I won't do this." I replied, "Then you are free," but at that time, divorce or separation was not being discussed. Later, I realized that I had said something wrong. 

How many divorces have taken place in our case?

Three talaaqs

Q: I am married to my husband on 15 July 2009. After four years he say divorce to me twice in one setting then my family said we make this home again and you will ruju with him. 

I am OK and and we start life again. Last year he again divorce me three times in one setting. My family contacted mufti and told him the whole situation. He say there is a gap in wordings and this is the last chance to continue with him and ruju. 

Now this year on 5 Jan, he again say divorce three time in one setting. Now my heart say something is against the laws of Allah. Please give me your option not live with him. He again say I am not mean it.

Explaining the serious consequences of uttering the words of divorce to one's wife

Q: When I get angry I used to say divorce me to my husband. Then to explain he said "I divorce, I divorce, I divorce. If I say these 3 words it would dissolve our marriage so don't say that again and again especially over the phone when you can't predict the other person's mental state and this can destroy our marriage, so don't ask for it again'. 

So my question is, does divorce take place by saying this because he was just explaining, without any pause, that I shouldn't ask for it again and again.

Revoking the talaaq

Q: If a person asked a mufti that I used the pashto word "zan talaq" to my wife 2 times like to her hands etc. Does divorce confirm by this asking? 

If a husband calls his wife hand as zan talaq, what does it mean while the husband doesn't intend for divorce?
