Talaaq

Issuing a talaaq for legal reasons

Q: My sister got married and after few months her husband ran away to a neighbouring country for some political reason. She was pregnant and got a baby. After two years waiting, he couldn't come back but the only way was she has to follow him. But because she is the wife of that man, the country's law doesn't allow her to leave anywhere unless she is divorced from him so they made an agreement and he sent her a divorce letter. The question is, is their marriage accepted or not?

Suspending talaaq without the intention of talaaq

Q: My wife lives with our kids in our home country in the upper portion of the house while my parents and younger sisiter stay in the lower portion. I live in some other country. There were alot of conflicts between my wife and parents. One day, I asked my wife to stop going downstairs to avoid any further arguments. I threatened her by saying that if she goes down, our relation will be over without any intention of divorcing her. She asked me about going downstairs to use washroom to wash our baby which I allowed her. She went down, washed the baby and use one of the room to change the baby's diaper many times after that. When I went home, she sat many timmes with me downstairs. Things got normal after a few days and my wife made up with my parents. She also started going down to speak to them. However, she did not ask me before going down and I have no problem with that. Is there anything wrong we have done? 

Taking one's wife back after a talaaq-e-baain

Q: Please advise me. During an argument I said to my wife "we're over" with the intention of divorce. Then two days later I said to her "stop calling me, its over" again with the intention of divorce and then a week later I said to her "you're on your own" with intention of divorce. Then I gave her one written talaq in a letter. So now we find out she is pregnant, can I take her back or not?

Husband telling wife to write divorce

Q: I have a doubt in my mind over a situation 9 years back. I asked my husband to write divorce to me. He said that I must write it myself, meaning to say divorce written by wife will not be of any validity. Now I doubt whether he gave me the right to divorce and I am uncertain whether I had written the words of divorce 3 times or not. What is the ruling?

Returning to one's husband after a divorce

Q: My father has recently passed away and he got murdered brutally by a man who hit him on his head with a knife and then slit his throat whilst my dad was still alive. I loved my father very much and it feels to me that somebody has killed me brutally. I am worried that my father may be in pain or discomfort in his grave. I read surah mulk at night but I feel very restless.

Also I have recently been divorced (1 year ago) but my husband gave me verbal divorce and now he says that he can bring me back only if at the cost that I accept his terms and conditions once being that I may not be able to work for a while. I don't want to go back to my husband as I hate him now and I want to consider someone else (my colleague) who gives me the respect I deserve and loves me. What do I need to do in this situation? If I don't go back to my husband, would it be a sin? I feel frustrated that I haven't done enough for my dad and he may be suffering... I can't sleep and I have arthritis and fibromyalgia which aggravated my muscular pain when I am in stress. Sometimes I just think that I should die as all this frustration and worry for my father is killing me and I feel helpless.
