Q: I have been staying with my parents and presently I am at the age of 36 unmarried female. During my childhood days I was facing troubles from a Hindu guy whom my father had taken debts..my parents asked me to tolerate the trouble of that guy just because they are under indebtedness. As of now they never asked me about my marriage nor searched alliances for me.. If I ask something they stop talking to me or behave rudely with me.. However, I have been tolerating it.. My question is as of today my two sisters are married and one of our brother-in-law he tries to seduce or grab my younger sisters and takes undue advantage of them. If they complain my parents especially mother asks them not to tell it to anybody fearing reputation and respect of the family.. Till what age they have to face this.. And my father he never listens to our problems.. Sometimes he listens to half of the issues and reacts without a second thought.. He stops talking with us... What we have to do.. We are helpless from all ends..

Q: I am in a dilemma. The scenario is as such. I am newly married. My wife teaches in a masjid full time Hifz and drives there and back home. She is not living with me at the moment. She will start living with me at the end of April. I disapprove of this teaching in the masjid and the driving.

The thing is my wife said she wants to continue teaching and driving back and forth. She says that she will be bored in the day and wants to keep herself busy. I totally disagree and feel she can do her own dor and teach at home.

My dad gives me mushwara to let her drive and work in the masjid and so does her father until we, inshaAllah have a child.

I feel this totally negates the shariah. I am very sad at the moment and feel like crying because they make me feel like I'm stopping her from something good. I don't want her to work or drive. What is your advice on how I should proceed in this matter?
