Suspending talaaq

Q: I told my wife that if she talked with her family members on her mobile except her mother and father then she will be divorced. If in case she talked to anyone then what will be the situation? Will she be divorced? I said only once talaaq in case she talked with them on the mobile.

Being threatened to issue talaaq

Q: My wife took sexual pictures of me without my knowledge. It was haram in a way that my private was exposed without my knowledge. One day we had an argument and she showed me the pictures and threatened me to talaq her. If not, she will expose the pictures on social media. I was shocked and asked her to delete the pictures but I was also afraid if she saved it somewhere on her phone. She did not want to delete the pictures and threatened me to talaq her. I was afraid and scared she will upload haram pictures of me that will not allow me to face my family and humanity. I told her her I talaq you, does it count as a valid talaq?

Husband saying "Hate talaaq"

Q: In the beginning of my marriage, my wife did something that made me upset. But we did not fight. She left and I started getting thoughts of divorce. But I pushed them away and told myself that no divorce, these things happen throughout life. And the thoughts of divorce also got me upset. Then as I was walking to my room words came out of my mouth. Actually the words were not good and I am also ashamed of them so I will not mention them here but will substitute the words. The words were: "Hate the talaq, hate the the talaq, talaq ko talaq (divorve to divorce in Urdu) As soon as I said these statements, a sudden thought came to my mind that what if these words caused a divorce. I kept getting waswasa a for few days and I kept telling myself that no I was upset at the thoughts of divorce and I was saying this not to my wife but in order to show my hate towards the divorce.

After 2 months I started getting the thoughts again about the statements I made. While I was thinking about what I said, the words "talaq ko talaq" i.e (divorce to divorce in Urdu) came out of my mouth again all of a sudden. I am so upset why these words came out of my mouth. What should I do?

Should I take it as waswasa and leave it, or what should I do?

Suppose a person is having intention of divorce in his heart, and all of a sudden he said those words i.e. "hate the talaq, hate the talaq, talaq ko talaq" what would be the ruling then.

Husband replying "Fine, take it" when the wife asks him for divorce

Q: After asking my husband for talaaq for the umpteenth time (because of consistent pathological lying, not giving any of my rights as a wife, not respecting me, tarnishing my reputation with his friends and mistresses, giving his first wife a comfortable life and not even giving me any of my expenses, mentally and financially abusing me, etc.) yesterday he finally said "Fine, take it (the talaaq)". Prior to that we didnt have any relationship for the last 8 months. Afterwards when I asked him to give me talaaq in front of my parents, he is saying he will give it when the time is right, and knowing him, he will always find excuses since he doesn't wish me to move on with my life and he wants to have full control over our son (though he hardly pays for the latter's expenses), that's the only reason he doesn't want to give me talaaq. I want to know if the talaaq he gave in the first instance is valid. 

Nikaah breaking through the husband leaving the fold of Islam

Q: My sister married a boy who converted to Islam. Soon after the marriage he again converted to Hinduism. The boy left her and went away without giving her a talaaq. She had not informed her family about the marriage. Her parents got her married to someone else who gave her talaaq within 2 months of their marriage. The Hindu boy then suddenly called her and gave her a talaaq. Can she now get married to someone?
