Q: A wife says to her husband that she wants to work because she is educated and suffers from depression thus wants to work and help her husband out financially. Also because the husband doesn't give her any money, instead he gives money to his parents.

The husband said "agar job karni hai or job karni hai to choro mujhe or job karni hai to chordena mujhe".

Meaning if you work or want to work then leave me.

The wife asked whether he had intention of divorce and he said "no", he just meant that she should stay with her father and then come back. If the wife worked would this be a divorce?

Q:

1. When I tie a scarf around my head to pray, it sometimes moves or my hair can be seen through the material or my shoulder or neck can be seen through as it is slightly (not very) see through because of this I feel my prayer has been invalidated. Is this true? I of course wear clothes under the scarf but if the scarf is slightly see through, will this invalidate my namaz?

2. All the namaz I have been reading with this scarf, so if my namaz is invalid, would this mean my nikah would be invalidated?
