Talaaq

Written talaaq

Q: A woman had sent a khula letter on a 100 rupees stamp paper written by a moulana to her husband witnessed by her sister and brother stating that she needs khula, upon receiving the husband signed the document writing that he is giving divorce and willing to release her with out taking any Mahr amount or what so ever. Will this end the marriage or the husband should pronounce talaaq in front of witnesses to end the marriage. Just upon receiving the written consent papers can the woman marry another person.

The process of khula

Q: My sister is married for 18 months. Her husband is unable to fulfil her basic needs. So far she has given him sufficient time to do so but he is unable. Finally she came to us and we also tried through all sources to compromise but all results are negative. Finally she wants to use her right of khula' with her husband. What is the process? She is separated from him since more than one year.

Husband accepting the khula

Q: I got married in the year 2006 and have two children. My husband got involved with some lady so my husband neglected me a lot. I got pregnant but he didn't care. He gave me a lot of tension so I had a miscarage. When I came to know about his affair I got hurt and started fighting with him but I accepted his new love with that lady but I told him that you stay happy and keep her away from my children but he kept on beating me and abusing me so that I may leave the home. I left home more than a year ago and within this separation time period he didn't keep any relationship with me nor did he divorce me. He didn't give any maintaince for the kids. He used to send 5000 in my Account for kids but 5000 is not enough for kids education and other expense so I took khula from him in September but he refused to give divorce as he has sold my 3 gold sets and he has not paid my huq maher so these are the reasons he didn't divorced me nor he accepted me as a wife but on khula he agreed. Now tell me is my khula done or not and what is my idaat time?

Contemplating divorce

Q: I am from Saudia Arabia and my wife is from Pakistan. Five months ago I decided to divorce her and I did not make any contact with her for 122 days. I heard if any husband did not make any contact for 4 month 10 days (130 days) while thinking he will divorce, Talaaq takes place. So is my nikaah broken?

Signing a divorce paper for visa purposes

Q: My question to you is my husband has made a fake divorced paper for UK visa residency purpose. This paper is signed by him and is registered in our country. But this paper has never been given to me but my husband has informed me about this stupid act of his. On asking my husband says plainly his intention is never to give me talaq and this document is to be used only for visa purposes. I want to know am I divorced this way? If I am divorced this way do we have to do nikaah again? Please guide me properly.

Applying for faskh

Q: One month ago I moved out of the marital house and moved back to parents, before I left I told my husband that I am going to speak to my parents and inform them that the marriage is over and I suggest he does the same, we were living with his parents, for years we were living an unhappy life, constantly arguing, him verbally and emotionally abusing me and not nafakaing me.

1. Am I living an unislamic life by living with my parents during the process of me applying for a faskh?

2. Do I have valid grounds for ending the marriage due to him not nafakaing me and constantly verbally abusing me?

3. Is there an idaa period if I apply for faskh and when does my idea period start?
