Q: My father introduced me to a potential spouse. We talked on the phone and through texting got to know each other better. We feel we are very compatible. He mentioned to me in his talks that he had been married about 9 years ago. He was 23 and she was 56 years old. Now he is 32 and she is 65 years old. The marriage lasted for about 2 years. He told me the reasons for the marriage and why it ended. He showed me all his documents and assured me that I could ask all the questions and that they would be answered. He is of good character and he has wants to become a hafiz In Sha Allah. He has memorized the 30th juz and surahs such as Surah Mulk, Surah Yaseen, etc. He has told me only about him being divorced as in our culture a Muslim divorced person is viewed as such a taboo. He had sure that I be aware of his divorce as I would be the one becoming his spouse. Is it necessary for him to tell my parents before getting the married to me, knowing that they will reject him based on being a divorced person?

Q: I belong to a very poor family, because my father sold all of his land, house, goods, etc. because he is addicted of all kinds of intoxications including women. Now he is stealing from people.
A few years back, my mama started working as a maid servant to bring us up. Now I am grown up and I cannot bear these things any more. I beat up my father when he steals something but he never stops.
I kicked him out from my house because I cannot explain what it is to live with my father. Will Allah forgive me? I do not want to do this but I am tired and can't bear this anymore.
