Mocking and ridiculing people
Q: Person A tells Person B the following joke. He says the memon was in Jahannam when he met his friend. His friend said to him that you were so pious, how did you end up here? The memon replied that I have a place in Jannah, but I put my house in Jannah on rent. Person B laughed at the joke. I am aware that in Surah Tauba that there is a verse which speaks about joking about Allah and his signs and this leading one to come out of the fold of Islaam. In the scenario presented above, do both A and B lose their Imaan and in the process invalidate their Nikah?

Changing one's age
Q: In Pakistan it is possible by unfair means to reduce your age on a official level. So 5 years ago when I was I a child 12 or 13 years old I don't have much knowledge about Deen, what's right, what's wrong. I wasn't aware of the result of the act my father did. Five years ago my father reduced my age just by one year. So now I'm 18 but according to legal papers I'm 17. And because of that act I have to lie every where I go. I can't reverse the act because if I go and increase my age then all my educational degrees would become false and fraud. So I feel very guilty about the act my father did to me. I have to lie everywhere and I am facing a lot of problems because of that act. My questions are:
1. Is my father responsible for every sin I earn because of telling lie about my age?
2. What should I do? lie my whole life?
3. I've forgiven my father but I can't forget what he's done to me. So tell me a way to forget.

When I was changing sides I realised weight on my feet which was the cat so I tried to move it, but it wouldn't move so my friend moved it. I felt so bad because it was comfortable on my blanket. Will I be question by the Lord Almighty because I try my best to show love to the creations of Allah Ta'ala?
