Marital Issues

Making tawbah from zina

Q: I did a terrible terrible thing. I cheated on my husband. I slept with a whatsapp contact of mine twice. I know I did wrong and I am so sorry for what I did, I mean it was a total stranger. My husband is taking this very hard and I know he still loves me and I am thankful for that. What can I do to revive our marriage and make my husband look at me the way he used to before he found out. Will things ever be the same again?

Marriage problems

Q: I want to ask you my condition related to Quran and Ahadith. Two years earlier my parents engaged me to guy who was morally, family wise, and Islamicly a noble person. But the only reason I couldn't get married to him is because of my parents ego.  A stamp paper of a plot in a very expensive area. Which a middle class person can't afford. They have agreed to write it in my mehr and would buy it for me later on along with 5o tola gold and 5 lac rupees. But my parents didn't agree. Everyone in the world questions me about my marriage but I am ashamed to answer as I have nothing to say plus I don't want my parents repo to be spoilt. The guy and his family is struggling very hard for me and the guy has debts too. Don't you think this is destroying my life? What does the Qur'an and Hadith say in this case? What should I do?

Marital problems

Q: My husband and I have been having endless problems for the past year now. I have left our home a few times due to his behaviour towards me . I am back at our home for 3 months now and for the last two months we have been having problems. He has hit me and also been chatting to other girls on social networks. He has a temper and his mood just switches and therefore he mistreats me. He also doesn't want me to visit my parents or socialize with my family. It has gone so bad now that I cannot talk to my husband or ask him for anything or rely on him for anything. I feel like I am living with a stranger. What can I do? I don't want to be with him anymore because of the way he is treating me but he does not want to give me talaaq. Please advise.

Marital problems

Q: I recently did a nikaah with my first cousin from Pakistan. This was my fathers choice and happiness. Deep down I wanted to marry somebody from here who I was deeply interested in. I have never spoke to this person but I have seen her around people and she performs her Salaah on time. Please consider I have never spoken to this person but I wanted to marry her, from UK. Anyway I married my cousin in hope that she is a practising Muslim and she will follow Islam completely, and we will have an understanding based on this. But unfortunately it's the total opposite. She prays Alhamdulilah but other things such as hayaah around males, hijaab or even adab with me, I can't bare it. I still have feelings for this sister from UK and I want to re marry. I want to divorce my cousin. What do I do? I fear family fights, break ups. My mother has already passed away and my father is 67. What must I do? I know if I were to remain married with my cousin, it would be difficult because bringing up kids in western society and for her to get used to it is very hard. I know the sister from here will definitely understand this society. Please give some advice. Jazaak'Allah

Marital problems

Q: My ten years of married life is in trouble. The reasons are very common; different views and opinions, no understanding and many more due to which I am losing interest in every thing. First I used to pray and I used to show interest in all things. Now I have no interest in anything not in life at all. Small things make me to go in depression. I can't share my feelings to any one. My husband is not a good friend and we don't have physical relationship since many years but we stay together. When asked about this he doesn't feel any feminine qualities in me but he says he loves me very much. He always expresses negative opinions about me which makes me more depressed about my life and demotivates me. I try to be happy and good but small things make me irritable and hyper. Sometimes I badly need physical love from my husband but can not approach him because we don't have that comfort level and when I see him busy in work I don't want to disturb him. I need only a friend but whenever I try to explain my view of point he will tell such things that makes me guilty and feel like a criminal but he never thinks I became like this because of his behaviour. I always pray to Allah to protect me from choosing the wrong path. I can't share my feelings to anyone. I want to be happy but my heart is dead. I have two sons day by day I'm becoming mentally sick. Whenever I see other couples, I almost cry. I do not get that basic love and understating. I never demand anything from him he gets me everything I want but never understands what I want to say. He looks at my opinion in a totally opposite way. Please suggest me what to do or any dua that makes my life peaceful.

Marital problems

Q: What should I do if I am not physically satisfied with my wife? Its been more than two years of our marriage and we have a 7 months baby boy, my wife has too much fat and I had told her so may times that I am not physically satisfied with her due to her heavy body and even she never shows her own interest in making physical relations, sometimes if I get angry with her then she gets upset and asks that is this everything?, and I remain unanswered, always its me who initiates. Since more than one year we didn't have sex, and its very tough for me to control. I had tried too much to make herself according my desires but she is unable to do so. One thing more I want to tell you that it was love marriage and I liked her since 12 years and then we got married after our parents' approval. So please suggest me what should I do so that I can live my life without any depression and frustration. I offer five times prayers and tahajjud too. I believe that Allah must show me the right path through your answer.
