Talaaq

Telling one's wife "go" in an argument

Q: I suffer from wasaawis, but not on a major level, just mildly. I was arguing with my wife and she kicked me. After this I said go. My intent
was if that is how you are going to treat me then just go. At the same time the thought of divorce kept going through my head. Then I thought to myself this could mean divorce and immediately thought to myself I am not intending divorce. Did divorce occur in this situation?

Husband not supporting the wife and ill treating her

Q: I have been married for three years. I am a doctor and doing a job since the last 9 years. My in laws are very well off but after marriage my
husband simply said that he cannot bear my expenses and even asked me to give my salary to his mother. I started giving a handsome amount to his mother every month but I had to bear all my expenses myself. My husband also wanted sexual relations as many times a day as he desired and when I refused he beat me when I was four moths pregnant with my first son. At the time of birth of our first son I bore all the expenses myself and I told my husband that I will not give my salary to his mother since I have to look after myself and my son. My husband and his mother started pressurising me to quit my job and when I refused my husband beat me very severely. At that time I was pregnant. Then my mother in law asked me repeatedly to get the pregnancy aborted which I did not and I came to my mother's house in march 2012 and since then I am bearing all the expenses of my kids and me all by myself. My husband does not pay a single penny and hardly ever calls to ask about the kids. In the light of these what does the Shairi'ah say about my not wanting to have any sexual relations with my husband? If I take khulaa what would be the status of my kids knowing that their father does not care about them at all?

Does the nikaah terminate if the husband goes to live with a non Muslim?

Q: My question is with regards to my Nikah. My husband left me and our two children 8 months ago to live with a non muslim woman. He now regrets the decision he has made and wants to reconcile. Please advise if we are still in Nikah as I don't want to live in sin. He has not mentioned anything about giving me a Talaq at all when he was leaving, his words were he is leaving me as he does not have any feelings for
me.

Issuing one Talaaq-e-baain after another talaaq-e-baain

Q: Following up an irrevocable (ba'in) divorce with another irrevocable (ba'in) divorce (al-ba'in la yalhaq al-ba'in):

For example the husband says to his wife: "I am leaving you, I am leaving you" (intending divorce with both statements) or he said: "I divorce you irrevocably, I divorce you irrevocably". In this case, only the first divorce will count and the second will be considered futile. Regardless of how many irrevocable divorces a man pronounces, only the first divorce is effected. The reason being is that the first divorce is irrevocable; hence, the marriage bond between the husband and wife has ended. As such, the second irrevocable divorce will not be able to attach itself on a relationship that has already come to an end. (Culled from Ibn Abidin's Radd al-Muhtar, 3/306-309)

Does this mean that if a husband utters an irrevocable divorce and the wife is still in her idda, then the second irrevocable divorce will still not count due to the nature of divorce? However, if a husband utters a revocable divorce after an irrevocable divorce, it will take into effect during the idda?

Ambiguous statements of talaaq

Q: I still don't understand about ambiguous statements. I know that wanting a divorce is not the same as issuing a divorce, so how come if a husband says "I don't want to be with her" falls under kinaya statements of divorce when the statement is referring to the future? Nonetheless, if husband says to wife "you'r free" or "you are free", how come this is considered as a revocable divorce and not irrevocable divorce? If there is a difference of opinion on these two matters is it permissible to follow the one that is easier due to hardship reasons?
