Verbal Abuse in Marriage

Q: I have been married since the last four years. It's an arranged marriage. My husband is very abusive, physically and verbally and would always threaten to leave me. We would somehow get back together and I would forgive and forget everything. That will probably make the situation worse. But now I can't ignore it. I have to tell him that he cannot talk to me in that way, it hurts me. If it continues, and he is not willing to open up or show me respect, then I would consult someone who knows and cares about me and my family who can help me to figure out how to best deal with the situation. I know there are lots of couples that argue and then talk about it afterwards but I don’t talk about arguments, but about galiyaan. He shouldn’t be giving me gaaliyan. I don’t care how big his ego is. There is no excuse for giving his wife gaaliyan, calling me prostitute. It hurts! If I forgive him an let it go easily he’s going to think his gaaliyan are acceptable by me. I don’t let him ever think it’s okay for him to curse me. I am his wife, his other half, marriage is based on respect for each other, and if one partner has lost respect for the other half, how long can one go on? What should I do?

Problems with in-laws

Q: I require some advice regarding a situation with my in laws. We don't have the best of relationships and my mother in told me that I have never done anything to be a daughter to her or a sister to my sister in law. After this, I was hurt and decided to keep away from them. Yesterday my father in law approached us and my mother in law lied saying she never said that and lied and said I told her I suffered in their home. My father in-law believes her. My mother in-law then called me a ... and told my husband she wants nothing to do with us. My father in-law phoned me today, shouting and insulting me and demanding I phone my mother in-law and ask her for maaf. He said she is my mother in-law and I must do it. And then he told me who am I and said you are nothing and he cut the call. I require advice on how does one handle this situation and would like to know what are the rights of a daughter in law.

Husband being over friendly with na mahram women

Q: Am I wrong to feel hurt and upset when my husband who claims to be innocent at home is over friendly when meeting female family members or
friends of mine outside. He also likes to play around and touch, poke, prod my mother, sister in law, cousins and thinks he's just playful and innocent and thinks nothing of it. I see more to his behaviour and feel disgusted. He even accidently bumps into females but I know its on purpose. What is wrong with him? Or am I wrong for being so angry and hurt?

Marital problems

Q: I'm married to a Egyptian who is also married in his country. I have just found out he's married 6 years already. My Question is he is not being fair in nafqa with her an me and there's also a lot of other problems. I have just recently discovered that I can have him deported back to his country but do I do it or do I just leave him and make sabr for the sake of Allah Ta'ala? I'm so scared to do something but he really is not treating me with fairness.

Woman phoning a man and asking him to marry her

Q:  A woman proposed to me to mary her directly on the phone as she used to dream that we are getting married and requested me if I would not marry her she will remain unmarried and  her feeble and crying voice made me to think of her and it is first time in my life that I talked with a
na mehram girl. I know her she is mashallah a very pious woman and due to fear of any mischief I changed my mobile number but my family will not accept it and I am suffering from tension and sleepless night. Now what should I do?
