Q: Girl had a relationship in past and now she got married and she is true to her husband but her husband came to know of her past relationship and he seeks a divorce. What does Islam says about this situation?
Q: I am a 28 year old single woman who works full time. I moved in with my grandmother when I was 14 as I left my home after being sexually abused by my step father. My mother chose not to believe me and continued to live with him.
I am deeply unhappy with where I am living. My grandmother and uncles resent me being there. I have been emotionally abused and told to get married and leave. There is so much pressure to get married that it has put me off marriage altogether.
I also am very unhappy about having to lie to others about why I do not live with my mother and covering for my stepfather. I’m not sure how I can go into a marriage with lies about my past. I don’t want to lie and I want my mother and family to believe that the abuse happened.
I’ve come to a point where I feel very low and almost despair for my future. I want to move out of my grandmothers and live alone to work on my own happiness and peace. Then inshallah marriage and everything else will fall into place. At the same time I’m conflicted as to doing what’s right by me or what’s right by my family. It wouldn’t be culturally accepted for me to live alone unmarried. I
want to ask what the right thing to do is from an Islamic and not cultural perspective.
Q: It is becoming a common phenomenon that Muslim husbands leave their wives and kids alone at home to go for “boy’s night”. This is aside from time that they spend playing sport such as soccer and exercising. Is this permissible and healthy for one's family life? If so, how frequently should husbands be going out to spend time with their friends?

Q: Sabar has much importance in Islam. I want to ask that if a woman is ugly and she is criticised by the people around her and compared by her sisters who are beautiful. Even there is no marriage proposal for her. But she always showes patience. Is it a type of Sabar and will she rewarded in akhirah for her Sabar.
Q: I've been living in the West for almost 12 years years and working hard. I have 3 Brothers and 1 sister. When I was working all by myself here, the rest of my family including my dad, my older brother and my younger brother did not really make any money until now and whatever they earned was only for themselves.
When I started working after studying 3 years here, I decided to build a house for my family; for my brother's and sister and my parents. Since my dad was not working and he was spending money that was from taking loans from others and my family was living in a rental house. I looked after all their needs and help to settle my older brother. I spent money to send them abroad as well, and I got my older brother married and spent a lot of money. I got my younger brother good education and also send him to a different country for work but he did not send any money to the family. I got my sister very good education in medical science, and I've never asked my parents how much they spend or why do they spend, I just sent money.
I'm also married now. About 3 years ago I asked my parents that I have never got money from my father who does have land and other property. I asked them no one has put any money in this house but we do have some loan from relatives which I had paid previously to some relatives and some were left, I asked my dad if I can pay off rest of the loan and I can have this house under my name, all my family can live in this house until whenever they want, I have no problem with that but I told him since I work so hard I did not make any other assets I could have established a business or build my property somewhere else with more future profit, but I chose to do something for my family first, so this is your house live here don't pay the rent and I will look after everyone's necessary needs until I can in sha Allah, but my father refused and he said this house should be divided just like all other property he has. My father has never paid for my education or any other expenses since I was 18 but my older brother who is 33 my father still helps him and he only makes money for himself or his wife. He does not help in any other matter of the house. I believe this is due to the bad relationship between my mom and dad and my dad thinks I'm on my mom's side that's why I'm not being treated fair. Upon me asking, he brought up hadith stating that everything that is mine as my fathers, and I don't understand how is this fair that my younger brother who's 25, my sister who's 24, my older brother who is 33, how come they don't bring any money home and only my money is theres. Please help me with a good solution.
