Talaaq

Separation with the intention of divorce

Q: If I ask my husband 3 times to separate from me, is it considered khula? I was living in a different country at the time and could not return to the original country where our nikaah was to file for separation myself. In the papers he even wrote that he is doing this on my request. This happened about 4 years ago and we would like to reconcile. Will we be able to get married again without any issue?

Reuniting after khula'

Q: My wife got a separation from me through court and that is khula. No divorce word is mentioned. I did not take mahar amount from her. She also took my 3 million rupees and did not give me back at that time and not yet even. I love her and we have 2 daughters. Khula is done on 8th January 2018. I am giving her all amount of her expenses also. After two months we had intercourse with an intention to live together again and I promised her that nothing will go wrong by the grace of Allah. Is her khula valid after all this? What do I do to bring her back?

Divorcing a pregnant woman

Q:

1. A brother divorced his wife once, a talaq baain, then performed a new nikah. After that he divorced her as follows:

I hereby formally issue one talaaq baain to ..., on 28/03/1439 (17/12/2017) at 15:22 pm. I also make ta’leeq of another talaaq baain which falls on 28/04/1439, exactly one lunar month from now, thereby completing 3 talaaqs, according to what has been mentioned as the sunnah method of divorcing a pregnant woman. Is this the sunnah method of talaq for a pregnant woman.

2. Is it not repugnant to divorce a pregnant woman? Are there any ahadith for this?

3. After 3 divorces, does the son-in-law have to observe hijaab from his ex-mother in-law and is communication permissible?

Asking for divorce after faskh

Q: When fasakh has taken place, does the wife still need to ask the husband for a divorce or is it that because the nikah is now cancelled out they are no longer partners so therefore asking for a divorce wouldn't make sense as they are no longer spouses. How long is the iddat once fasakh has taken place?

Marital problems

Q:

1. If a husband promises his wife that he wont ever want to take another wife/wives, does he forego his right? What happens if he breaks the promise and he does a second nikaah?

2. If the first wife cant cope or bear the pain of it, can she leave him?

3. If he feels that the second nikkah was a mistake and he regrets it, can he leave her? Both wives are living in 2 different countries. He doesn't spend equal time nor equal money on both his wives. He really loves the first wife more than the second and both the wives are aware of that.

4. Also, if the husband refuses a divorce, can the wife request a khula'?

5. If yes, does it mean that the kids have to go to their father and if the husbamd demands any amount of money he wishes too, she would have to pay in order for him to agree to khula'?
