Marital Issues

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?

Living with a Hindu

Q: I did Nikah with a Hindu man already married and having 2 children. We loved each other and having partnership business. But he has not believed in Allah and the Prophet Muhammed (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam). I had been making dua for his hidayat for having a lawful life in future. But today after 6 months of nikah he repeated 3 times the word, Taalaq in anger. Is Talaq happened between us. My doubt is that since he is an unbeliever, so there had been no valid Nikah took place and hence no Talaaq as well. Kindly put light on to this. I really do not want to have any illusion on the cost of my imaan. Allah will reward you brother for your kind job. Please reply.

Marital problems

Q: I am a 31 year old muslim woman with 3 kids. Mine was an arranged marriage and my husband was insistent to marry me due to my Deen inspite of the physical differences between us. He is tall, slim and handsome whereas I am short and plump. Later I came to know from his mother that they weren't impressed about our marriage due to difference between us. I told my husband to marry another if he wants. Later I came to know that he is interested in internet dating with women. We had to stay apart due to circumstances and I am staying with his father, mother and brother in laws. He used to come every 6 months but I noticed that he wasn't interested in sex although we were apart. For three years we din't have sex even he came every 6 months. Later I found messages indicating he had sex with more than one lady and was financially supporting them. He admitted it on questioning him and replied that he loves me only therefore didn't marry anyone among them. Me and kids went to stay with him for 30 days abroad in UAE on visit and found condoms in his cupboard, pornographic video in his personal laptop. I still decided to forgive him and pray to Allah. My father in law used to wake me from sleep by knocking the door. Recently while I woke up from sleep I found my father in law staring into my private part raising my dress. I didn't react on seeing this as I felt it will affect the whole family. My husband is abroad. On complaining to him he blamed me for sleeping without locking the door with key. My husband is responsible towards his parents and looks after me and kids. He takes me and kids to mosque, also cooperates in all charitable activities especially Zakat. He helps my family too in times of need and sends us more and enough money but I am deeply confused as to what to decide in my life with him because we are away from each other and communicates less when he is abroad. I can feel his love only when he is with us. When he is abroad its mainly his financial support that he tries to give me rather than love. Should I continue living with him seeing only his positive attitude satisfied with his money or take a stern decision to leave him? Expecting your reply at the earliest so as to relieve my mind. Thanking you in anticipation.

Haraam relationship

Q: I am a 26 year old boy from India. I have a non-muslim (Hindu) girl friend 25 years old since 5 to 6 years. I explained her about Islam and its beauty. She got a lot of knowledge about Islam and now we want to marry and live together. But we have two problems in our way:

1. My family doesn't know about our relationship so far and my father is a heart patient, he faced a heart attack recently. Due to Indian culture and society he will never allow us to live together.

2. If I leave the girl then she will have to go back to her past and I am afraid her family will marry her with a non-muslim boy and she will not able to become a Muslim in the future after knowing facts about Islam. I am confused, if I marry her my father may not able to face this situation. Please give me the best solution. I want to know what is best in the way of Allah.

Marital problems

Q: What do I do. This is what my husband sent to me as as result of an argument we had about being intimate or the lack of intimacy. I must admit that I mistook sex for love. I watched porn yes. Sometimes the feeling of sex is great satisfactory fulfilling and sometimes the feeling of making love is beautiful. "I must also admit that I do get tired of having sex, or making love with the same person for 26 years, but it is my duty as a husband to deal with this. I also have a problem showing affection at times(most of the time)."

Marital problems

Q: I am sending you a problem of my friend. In her first marriage she was very happy with the person whom she loved, he was flirtatious by nature but made her happy by all means but divorced her after two years as he got good opportunity of re marriage on the basis of that she did not bleed first night. She was heart broken and married again, born 2 kids, but her husband is physically, sexually and financially weak by all means and now life has become hell for her and she has no way out. What does Islam says if a woman gets no satisfaction, happiness and finances from her husband? She can't get divorce second time as this is taboo in society. Please don't be harsh and give her a reasonable solution which will bring happiness in her life.

Husband involved with another woman

Q: I am a forty year old women. Married for 21 years. My husband is involved with a women. I had caught him several times doing heinous activities. I have always tried to conceal and believe his fake clearances. I offer five times salah. I learn and teach Quran. I had always been far from any heinous acts. Now that he has lost his interest in me. I have read in Qur'an somewhere that good man for good women and sinful man for sinful women. Does this mean that I am also sinful? Or do some other sin so that I am paired with this man? I have four daughters. My husband shouts aloud in the house so that no one dares to discuss his evil activities. I don't know what shall I do. Every next day of my life seems more miserable. Please help me out and pray for me. If there is any wazifa in this regard, please let me know.
