Nikaah & Marriage Issues

Q: I'd like to know can a husband invite his parents home without discussing with his wife if she is willing to host them?

Q: I had multiple opportunities to go to other countries but due to my wife's fertility issues I had to sacrifice my career and stay in India itself. 

For the first child, I had to sacrifice many onsite travels as I had to be in India as ease of treatment is good here. When she got pregnant, I got US 2 Years and then Canada 2 years, Germany but I had to decline as we planned for a 2nd baby and then again she needed treatment. We struggled a lot to find good doctors during treatment so I always believed going out would again delay the process and it will take time. 

Kindly help me how could I convince myself, sometimes I get thoughts like why it is happening to me. 

Also I have my mother who is staying with me, even though I have an elder brother but she prefers so stay with me. Kindly guide how do I proceed in this case too.

Q: There's a girl and we like each other. Finally we decided to get married. 

The question is, she's a sister of my aunty (chachi) (my father's brother wife) and my aunty (chachi) is my foster mother as she fed me breast milk two times only while I was 18 months old. 

So am I allowed to get married to her sister or not?

Q: My daughter runs a small maktab from home wherein she takes a small fee for teaching the preschool children. 

My husband says as she is earning, his responsibility towards seeing to their needs is over... Moreover she should contribute by paying a small rental for the room she is using. Is his thinking correct?

Q: My husband, my mother in law and myself live together. I don't have a full kitchen of my own but I have kitchenette upstairs with the basics - fridge, toaster, kettle and microwave. 

In Ramadhan, my husband says we should all 3 have sehri downstairs because his mother shouldn't be eating alone. I responded saying that if he would like he can go downstairs for sehri but I will be having sehri upstairs as I don't see why I should have all meals together all the time. 

Islamically am I entitled to have some meals separately. Please advise.

Q: If the family (mother or father) of the groom uses their own wealth to acquire the mahr and present it to the bride on behalf of the groom without gifting it to the groom first and allowing him to send it, is the nikaah valid? 

This was all done because the groom did not have the means for the mahr.

Q: Alhamdullah, I am pregnant. So can I offer nafal and sunnah Salah on the chair and perform the fardh Salah by standing.

Q: I have questions for marriage of a girl 

1. If she does not like one proposal, does she have the right to say no to it? Or is it only the boys' family and her parents' decision? Likewise if she likes a proposal and after istikharaah her heart says yes but her parents say no, what's the ruling here? 

2. Let's say there is a good match. However, the girl's parents think that she is too young at the time, and also not mature enough. The boy is studying and it will take 2-3 years for him to complete studies for him and get a job. In this case if the two families think they're a good fit for each other what do the girl's side say? Yes, but not right now? Is that allowed? 

3. I heard (but I'm not sure about it) that there is a Hadeeth saying it is better when the proposal has been accepted that the boy should have one look at the girl. Two questions arise. One, is this hadeeth true (and can I please have the full hadeeth by word)? And two, is that what is only allowed? That the boy can take one look at the girl? Or (as I've also heard) the girl is also allowed to ask the boy to read one quranic verse? Does this have any relation to the mahr? 

Please explain to me in detail so I can understand. 

Q: I am a working woman and married. Both me and my husband are working in respectable jobs. I handle my own personal expenses from day one of marriage and have never asked for pocket money from my husband. 

I have two children aged 1 year and 1 month. My husband refuses to help in the my children's financial needs. Both of them are on formula milk and their combined expenditure is around 80000 which I am solely bearing along with my own expenses. 

My husband's income is more than me. He refuses to contribute even half. Alhamdulillah, I am managing but my question is what are the rights of such a husband/father over his wife and children if he refuses to contribute even 50 percent financially if he has more than enough money. What are the faraiz and instructions for the mother/wife in such a case who despite being married is living like a single mother?
