Conditions for the validity of Nikaah

Q: A friend of mine was forcibly married to her cousin. She never accepted the marriage and clearly said no to marriage at the time of Nikah. She kept asking for divorce and her husband would say OK. In one conversation she told him, she would not come to him and does not want to keep the relationship of marriage. He said OK and replied, he would not come to her either. It's been 20 years since and they have no marital relations. They do not live together. It's the nikah/marriage still valid our broken ? She has not received any mahr after marriage and she doesn't want anything from him.

Q: I recently did my Nikkah over the phone. My husband lives 100 miles away from me. He was at the Masjid with his two witnesses plus the Imam and I was at home. The Imam called me, asked me questions regarding to the Marriage also asked my wali which was my 16 year old son if he excepted this Marriage which of corse he agreed.

Q: My question is twofold: 1) Can I retain my wife in a marriage wherein she claims that I have not been emotionally supportive of her and she is unhappy, yet I feel I want to work on the issues (especially since we have 3 children to consider)? 2) We have already divorced twice (2 talaqs) and knowing that after the 3rd talaq we cannot reconcile without first marrying other people - what if she had to pursue a Fasakh (annulment) which is then granted, can we perhaps still re-marry after that?

Q: Can a Muslim girl marry a sikh boy without changing her religion and live happily?

Q: When I was at my parents house my husband called me and asked me not to come back because according to him "I may not be a Muslim in future". My brother texted him and asked him what religion will he accept now. He replied I don't like any religion. My brother then asked so you are saying there is no god. He said yes. I personally think he wanted to get rid of me thats why he said these things. This is the second time he wanted me to leave him. He then called me after one week and said I should come back to him. I asked if he is changing his religion. He said No. Then I asked "You said there is no God". He replied, I wasn't accurate. I believe there is some one kalma is correct but I don't believe in religious practices and don't like people giving names to God. I told him we cant live together if you wont be a Muslim. He said I didn't change anything. He said he is scared to change the religion and he is scared to say anything because he might not be considered as Muslim. I asked so you believe in Allah. He said yes. He pray sometimes and he fast the whole month of Ramadhaan but he thinks that people might have altered Qur'an just like bible. He lacks knowledge of Islam. Now my question is, is my nikaah still valid? Is he still considered to be a Muslim? I didn't go back because I am very confused.

Q: I am currently going through a very bad period and I needed your advice. I am originally from Pakistan and I came to UK 10 years ago. I married my wife just over four and a half years ago and she reverted to Islam. During our first year of marriage I did something bad which goes against the teachings of Islam (abortion) and since then my wife has not forgiven me. Since then she has also stopped practising Islam. Till date she does not respect me and always sheds mental abuse calling me names and always reminding me of what i did. Currently we have got 2 kids (2 1/2 year old and 1 1/2 year old). I have tried my best to make her happy but she argues with me multiple times during the day and shows a lot of anger towards our kids as well. Today as an example she has been arguing with me all day calling me all sorts of names and bringing up things from the past. I have apologized to her multiple amount of times but there are no signs of her stopping and all this is having an adverse effect on our lives. I am writing to you with the hope of getting some advice of what would be the best course of action islamically. I greatly love my 2 girls (kids) and as a result I have not divorced her as she will not let me see them and if i remarry she has said she will ensure that she breaks all ties with me and she will not let me see the kids. I am deeply concerned as she would bring the kids up catholic as her family is athiest. Is there any suggestions which you can provide which might help to ease my situation? Similarly is there any wazifahs I can read so that we can be a happily married couple once again.
