Talaaq

Q: If a woman says to her husband "did you take your phone with you to the shower?" And the husband says "no why would I" then the wife says "my brother takes it" and the husband says "I'm not crazy like your brother". After the wife says my brother takes it she gets a little scared as she read online that comparing your husband eith your brother affects the nikah. She now is doubting if she was calling her husband brother or had any such intentions as she got scared and felt she had. She wasn't comparing she was just saying how a trait may have been similar. Has the nikah been affected? Does comparing your spouse to your brother affect the nikah.

Q: My wife is taking me to court for divorce. I got the first letter today from her solictor to say that my wife wants to go court for a divorce. Can I stop that and do it the Islamic way or do I still have to go to court?

Q:

1. At the time of nikaah the husband said qubool and the witnesses heard it. Few years later, the wife asked her husband if he said qubool in the nikaah? The husband said "no". He said “no” jokingly and had no intention of divorce. Is there any problem?

2. If a divorce thought comes in the mind when touching a kinaya word of divorce, is there any problem? The husband did not utter the word, he just touched the word with his finger. 

Q: I wrote a divorce letter to my wife and signed it in the presence of a qazi and two persons. The qazi was about to send the letter within the next 3 days. I did it because she was caught red handed talking closely to a stranger over the phone. She was pregnant at that moment.

After two days, I thought I will give her one more chance to correct herself and stopped the letter and the letter was destroyed. I also informed the two persons that were present when I signed the letter and I started living with her. She gave birth to a baby girl one month ago.

I thought it was necessary to deliver the letter to her for the divorce to be effective. She still does not know about the letter.

Recently I asked an Imaam about it and he said that the divorce has occured even though my wife was not present and the evidence was destroyed.

My question is, is my marriage still valid? 

Q: I told my wife that you are free from my side. That time I was a bit angry, not much but little angry due to a fight that occured between us. I had no intention of divorce, but I heard that even if a person has no intention of divorce but is angry, then divorce will take place with kinaya words. Will that consitute talaaq immediately?

Q: Please advise how a young widow with an infant child will cope with the following situation:

Her society and customs and practices require that if she marries anyone, her infant child will be taken away by her in-laws. Her father will not approve of any marriage, even if it is with a Muslim, if he is not from the same country as her, even if the man agrees to keep the child with his mother whom he will marry. The infant will be deprived of his mother’s love if she marries any man of her family’s choice. Staying single means she runs the risk of committing sin (maybe zina) which she does not want. In this situation, as she is an adult widow and not a virgin and has physical needs, can she not undertake a secret marriage?

Q: During a quarrel, if a husband says to his wife that you can take your decision if you are not satisfied. Did the husband give the right of divorce to his wife by this sentence?

Q: If my husband says that if you cry again then automatically divorce will take place. Am I divorced or not?

Q: If a husband says to his wife, "do you want to write widow in your marital status or you are a widow?" Will divorce take place?

Q: If a husband denies and is ready to give oath about not divorcing his wife but the wife thinks that he has divorced her over the phone. She is confused as her husband is giving an oath and she too was very angry when she asked for divorce so she isn’t sure whether he said it or maybe she heard it wrong. Who should be believed, the husband or the wife?
