Is he allowed to force me to do something?

Q: I read it is Sunnah of sleeping to recite Surah Ikhlas, mawazitain once and blow on your palms, wiping hands over the body till where they can reach and this is done thrice. Similarly it is Sunnah to recite ayat-ul-kursi. My question is is that can women practice these sunnahs during haidh?

Q: I am a 21 year old Muslim woman. I started observing hijab recently but I am confused with regards to mahram. I have two 13 and 10 year old cousins who are growing up in front of me in my hands.

Q: I want to know is it permissible to talk to non-mahrams? Like if someone is studying in a co-education and having boy fellows and male teachers so then is it allowed to talk to them? I have heard that a girl is not allowed to talk to non-mahrams but if in case of helping and if a non-mahram shares his problems with you without having any bad intention so is it allowed? Can girls and boys be friends?
