Nikaah & Marriage Issues

Hurmat-e-musaaharah

Q: My question is about a very sensitive issue. If a person touched the private parts of his uncle's wife while she was asleep with lust but afterwards he realized it is a great sin. What is the Islamic ruling for him? What should he do for tawba.

Girl's father not happy with the boy

Q: One of my distant relatives, we both like each other and want marry. My parents are ready for the relation, however the girls father is not ready to make this relation with us. The girl and I want to marry.

1. Is it right if we do nikaah with shari witnesses without her parent's permission (she is underage according to India's rule i.e. girl is 18 or above years old.)

2. Can we do nikaah and live separate from each other until she turns 18 years?

3. Once she is 18 years of age, can we marry through court registrar?

Proposing for a girl

Q: I've heard that premarital relationships are haraam, but I'm not sure to what extent am I supposed to keep my distance from this girl I am in love with. My friend keeps telling me to express my feelings to her, but as far as I've learned, I'm supposed to go to the girl's father to ask for her hand in marriage. I don't want to involve our families and make it hard for her to reject me, so I was wondering if it would be halaal to just tell her that I like her and wish to marry her? And then we would go to her father if she accepts my proposal.

Talaaq after khalwat

Q: Please clarify in the light of Qur'an and Hadith. A girl got married and the next day of her arrival in her husband's house, she was found guilty of immortality and the fact was proven that she had illegal sexual intercourse with may boy friends. After having proof her husband gave her divorce and the girl went to her parents house. Now what should the boy have to return to her in addition to her mahar? Should the jewelry they gave her at the time of marriage be given back to her or not? Jewelry is with the boy. The girl didn't take anything except her clothes and simple jewellery which she wears daily.

Equality between wives

Q: I already have a wife and I did a second nikaah about two months ago. She is in another country and her visa is under process. Only nikaah has been done and we are yet to start living together. (1) According to shariah, am I supposed to maintain equality in financial terms between the two wives even though the second one is yet to live with me? (2) If I purchase something for my first wife, am I supposed to purchase it for the other one also while she is not living with me? (3) If I give some cash to my first wife, am I supposed to give exactly the same amount to the second one also despite the fact that she is not living with me?
