Not getting married to the girl one was involved with

Q: Its regarding marriage. I had a girlfriend (we didn't do the unlawful thing together) and we were set to get married the halal way with both of our families involved. Now, 5-6 months before marriage, the girl started to say lie statement to me about her family's opinion about our marriage. (WaAllah I believe her decency and she was and is not involved in any ill act with someone else). She did one big mistake, she faked below things.

1. Her family doesn't consider me (her to be husband) as a good match.

2. The boy isn't financially well settled.

3. Her family is interested in getting married to someone else who is more better in wealth and better in family.

4. Created an imaginary person with whom her family wants her to get married.

I trusted her and assumed that all she said is correct (she said all this to me in a long period, not suddenly and hence i believed her) I was so frustrated that I told her that I no longer am interested to get married to you, you can marry the person your family wants you to get married with. She accepted that its her fault that she lied. She cried a lot and said sorry, in front of everyone from her family and my family. But I was so frustrated with this drama that I could no longer believe her and I said, "Sorry, I cant marry you". All this was around 2 years back. Now with the help of Allah I decided to move on and looking forward to marry someone else (not decided to whom, but just looking) Now, the ex-girl says me that she is still waiting for me and wants to get married to me only. Please suggest me what should I do here? Will it be a zulm from my side on her if i don't get married to her? I tried to tell her that she should get married to someone else but she insists and says she loves me. I'm not getting what to do. I want to get married to someone else, but not sure if it would be correct to leave ex-girl?

Premarital relationships

Q: I have been in a relationship for almost 7 years and we have been discussing marriage. Our only problem is that my family has yet to accept him or our relationship because of his education level. By all accounts, he is a good and religious man. He has help guide me to be a better muslimah and he is kind hearted, generous and loving. How do I get my family to look past his one flaw to see all his other strengths? He might not have a high education but he's hardworking and has accomplished so much in his career despite his education level. He is the one I want to get married to. I just don't know how to get my family to accept him and see him for the wonderful man he truly is.

Listening to the husband

Q: I did not attend a very close family function as my husband asked me not to, for certain reasons with my uncle. Now everyone's upset because I wasn't allowed to go and are saying I should have attended, who should I listen to? My husband or my mother, I am very confused as they have argued on the phone about it. How do I please Everyone? Without hurting them, please advise on all my questions.

Marital problems

Q: My husband wants to move out of the house. He's been fighting with me for no valid reason and I said to him he will have to divorce me before he leaves because I cannot take him back after he's had a good time with other women. He's willing to give me the divorce. I did call family members here but he said to them he doesn't want me. What should I do?

Being attracted to males

Q: I am 20+ in age. I am a male and sexually attracted to looking at and touching a penis often time if am given the opportunity. When I am discussing with male (not all males), after each discussion, I always notice I have released semen (often time deliberately and at times not deliberate). I hate to become a gay.

Joining family ties

Q: I am currently living in a joint family with my grandmother and uncles and now we are going to buy a new house separately since childhood I've seen my paternal showing hate towards me and my sibling also at my father and mother. My mother loves his mother but still she has a nature that she leaves no chance of degrading us. My mother scolds me for using bad words or having bad feelings for her but I cannot help it. She pretends to be sweet but she isn't with us. Recently she talked to me very differently. Mufti please tell me something through which I have sabar and we can sort out things. I will wait for you reply because it makes me frustrated.
