Iddat

Iddat after a forced marriage

Q: At age of 12, a girl's nikah was performed with her relative against her will as she was not wise. She did not accept him as her husbend. After 4 years, her mother sent her to her husband's house but at first night they had a conflict. She told her husband not to touch her. After 2 days she came back to her parents and lived there for 5 months. Then she got a divorce from her husband. Now the question is, does that girl have to sit for iddat before marrying another person or can she marry without sitting for iddat?

Spending iddat at one's father's house

Q: I have recently been divorced spending iddat by my father. He has been making my life a living misery, speaking a lot of lies and calling me ugly names. Last night things got out of hand and he kicked me out of the house, disowned me and said he doesn't want anything to do with me. I don't have any family to go to. Is it possible to spend the rest of my iddat alone in another city?

Paying for one's divorced wife's expenses during her iddah period

Q: If 2 people are divorced. The girl moves to another town. The ex husband tells his ex brother in law to ask a mufti in his area twice to ask how much iddah money I have to give. But he doesnt ask and says its ok about the money. But I said, no I have to give as its my right. Then he says ok. Do I still have to give? As my ex brother in law is a moulana and he knows its the right of the ex husband to give iddah money. He still didnt ask a mufti. But I gave for 1 month.

Iddah after khula

Q: I have come across a Hadith of Tirmizi which says that the iddah of khula is one menstrual cycle.

But there have been some disputes regarding it and preferable period is three menstrual cycle.
Please clarify this difference of opinion.

If in the case of Khula being one menstrual cycle, can the lady go out and pursue her education if she wants to if after her cycle has ended?

Iddat after talaaq

Q: I have a friend and her family relations were not good since 2-3 years. Her dad divorced her mom 90 days ago. Today, after 90 days have been completed and she kept that divorce as a secret and didn't tell her daughter because she doesn't want to see her cry. What should she do now? Her father called today and said 90 days are over, what you want now? Is her mother's iddat considered? She didn't know that she has been divorced. What should we all do for her.
