Talaaq

Court issuing a khula

Q: We filed khula case in the court and in reply of my husband's lawyer was that they agree if we return to them the maher, which they hadn't given us. Later they used delaying tactics to prolong the case just to torture me.

After three months we were summoned to the court but reconciliation was failed because I didn't agree. The judge repeated the case in front of us and gave a khula decree in front of all of us including my husband, his father and my father. My rukhsati was not done. Is this khula right according to shariah?

Can you please advice and guide us as to how we can go back to living as husband and wife.

Wife having the right to see her children after divorce

Q:

1. My husband and I have been separated since 25 April 2019. I am currently living with my sister and her family. I left my home because my husband abused me badly, this is not the first time that he had lifted his hands. I stayed in the marriage for 5 years whereby I went through physical and verbal abuse to the extent that I was even scared to ask to go and see my 2 boys from my previous marriage. He has a very bad temper, thinks that my family is influencing me and swears my family. I have been supporting him all these years and still am to keep a roof over his head.

In the last 2 months I have spent time with my boys more than I ever did in the 5 years of being married to my current husband. I would like to know my rights as still being married going to see my children as they live with their father? I know that their father is now a non-mahram to me.

2. My current husband does not want to give me my talaaqs. He is prepared to only give one and take his time with the others. I feel so stuck and torn between my family, my boys and my current husband. I dont know what to do. I want to do the things the proper way.
