Wife using her right to issue a divorce

5 years ago By user2

Q: Recently I found out that my husband only married me for a visa since I am a US citizen. We haven’t consummated our marriage. Also he doesn’t really love or care for me. We havent been in contact for over 6-7 months. In my nikaah, I got the right of divorce from my husband (delegated right of divorce to wife). I want to end this marriage.

1. Can I just pronounce I chose myself or I am divorcing myself from you 3x over a text and send him a notice too, will my divorce be valid?

2. Do I have to seek khula or I can just get divorce by saying it.

Interacting with people

Q: Please advise me on the following and how I should respond.

I have been attending a musjid for a considerably long period ever since I moved into the area like 6-7 years. Whilst attending the musjid, nobody was welcoming and friendly. I'm quite wealthy, but I dont like showing of my wealth so I remain as a normal person, no fancy car, everything normal. Actually under normal, you won't even want a lift in my car.

So after some years, people started to find out that I'm actually wealthy, and now they starting to be friendly, and make conversation. I greet but I feel they only doing this now because they know I'm rich? Specific people have been racist to me straight for 6 years, but when they found out about the companies I own, their attitude changed.

I was brought up to think that its not the wealth or the lineage or race that is important but his belief in Allah Ta'ala and his pious nature. How must I interact with these people because they cleary like me because of money and nothing else. I have been testing them and gave them 6-7 years.
