Talaaq

Living in the same house with one's ex-husband

Q: I have a few questions to ask regarding divorce. I was married to my cousin for 7 years, he came to Canada last year in 2016 and tried to break my virginity; however, he was unable to break my virginity. After that he never came near me. I got divorced this year in the beginning of August. He is still living in the same house where I live in but in different bedrooms. I would like answers for 3 questions:

1. He is my na-mahram now so should he be living in the same house as me?

2. I received a divorce from the Canadian government, but does my ex husband have to say divorce 3 times to me for me to be legally divorced in Islam?

3. How long is my iddah period and what are the restrictions associated with it ? I work full time so how will my iddah period work?

Jokingly divorcing one's wife on WhatsApp

Q: I was working in the Gulf 20 days back and I sent my wife's sister a WhatsApp message as joke. I wrote: "I don't like you and your family so talaq talaq talaq. So tell me how much I have to pay and you are my sister" I was just joking and I don't know much about talaq, only what I see on tv news. I am in India but my wife is telling me that I have given her talaq so everything ends now and I should go back home. Allah knows I was just joking and really I don't know about talaq laws.

Threatening one's mother that one will divorce one's wife

Q: I want to ask a question relating to divorce. Actually I went through a certain situation of argument with my mom in front of my wife where I told my mom unintentionally that if you think I am not good with you after marriage I will divorce (talaaq) her and be good with you. But this statement was unintentional and just meant to make my mom realize that I am not changed. Whats the ruling of this?

The Shar'ee law regarding khula'

Can husband ask the wife to return all his belongings like Mehr, jewellery, clothes, holidays as the husband did not gave her as gift. What is sharia ruling regarding husbands rights? Does the husband have the right to demand the return of all his items. Can you please give us the sharia ruling on this matter Wallahu Alam. The husband demands return of his property as a precondition before giving khula. Jazakallah
