482 I have been recently married. My parents have lied to me about my husband, when the proposal came, my parents lied to me, in order for me to marry him. I was told that he is a practicing Muslim who prays five times a day and around 25 years in age and a Sunni. Despite my disapproval my parents agreed, so I got married. I realized on the night of my wedding, he is only 22, who is'’t practicing and his thoughts are in the way of salafis. I am worried please tell me what the Shariah says about this?

502 Hi, for the last 6 months I have been dating a Muslim boy. I am Zoroastrian and he is Pakistani Muslim. I love him so very much, but when he approached his mother about the idea of him possibly marrying a Non-Muslim girl, the mother did not approve. It is for this reason we had to break up. Is there any way in convincing the mother that it is ok for us to get married? My religion does not allow me to pass my religion onto my children and it is for this reason any children we would have would be Muslim. As my love for him is so strong, I would do anything to be with him. I have even suggested that I learn and practice Islam. He brought light into my life during such dark times and yes it has only been 6 months but those past months have been the best of my life. Out of respect for his mother he has said we cannot be together and I know this decision was very hard for him. The reason I am writing here is that I need advice on how I could get him to convince his mother that marrying a Non Muslim would not be so bad. I am so upset and all I want is for God to give us a chance...for us both to be happy. We truly found happiness with each other after a long time and now it feels that it has been taken away from us.

Category (Marriage / Divorce)
563 I met my partner ten years ago. Two years into the relationship he was told him and his family was going to Bangladesh to visit his dying granddad. They lied and once he was there they forced him into an arranged marriage. His family kept him there for 11 months during this time a child was conceived and we had no contact. He gave up on life and felt he had no choice but to get married and do as his family tell him. The marriage wasn't good his wife treated him very badly. A month into the marriage her family wanted them to separate because of how badly she treated him however his family wouldn't allow it. He has now been married for eight and a half years but separated for most of that time. We have broken up many, times as we both felt we should do the right thing to please Allah (S.W.T). We felt we should have no contact and he should try to make his marriage work and if Allah (S.W.T) wants us to be together we will be. We failed each time as we truly love each other so much we couldn't bear to be apart. What shall we do? Sometimes I feel he should go back to his wife for her sake and for his son but he is so unhappy with her and he loves me so much. He is suffering so much. He is 28 now and feels he has nothing in life. We want to get married and help each other to be good Muslims. I reverted to Islam two years ago. Are we going to hell? Was staying together the wrong thing to do? She never treated him good. He loves his son very much but doesn't feel that’s enough to stay living such a miserable life. I'm not heartless I feel sorry for her we both live with so much guilt. Is it ok for him to divorce her and marry me?

595 Someone I know who got married some years ago, had a very serious fight with her husband where her husband left with the intention of never coming back. She also stopped thinking of him as her husband and they had no contact for six months around. She finally decided to get a divorce from him. The question is, does the woman's idthath start after she receives the divorce papers or did it start the day the husband left? (there has been no contact between both parties for over six months and the day the husband left, the woman had no intention of ever getting back together with him, in fact she did not view him as her husband any longer)

670 I am a Muslim woman who had a relationship with a Muslim man. I was living far away (different country) from him, and then we decided to move together and get married. We got married in the register office. I have always insisted to get married, religiously by seeing the Imam. We lived together for 1year and 7months. Unfortunately, we got separate 5 months. I decided to leave him because he was lying, cheating and I was angry. Now he is with another woman (girlfriend). I want to divorce him but someone has told me that I can't because we didn’t get married in the Islamic way. Is it true I can't divorce him even though we didn’t get married religiously?

Taking permission from the first wife is mandatory? Please let me know the exact procedure.

857 I am about to marry my Muslim fiance in a ceremony with an imam in Turkey...... I would like to know the roles of a husband and wife....would my husband be right in not allowing me to do certain things or go certain places? Do I have the same rights on him? I have started to read the Quran and am trying to learn more. I was raised as a Christian and obviously know about my religion I need more understanding of his. AND… I just wanted to clarify what a woman's role is in a marriage. Am I right in saying that her priorities should be being a good wife and mother? But, if she has no children, what constitutes being a good wife? Traditionally people would assume this means cooking and cleaning etc for the husband. But did the Prophet (S.A.W) not do this for himself? Also, if she is working, is it acceptable for her husband to help her?

1017 My question is about my sister's Marriage. My father forced her to get married to his brother's Son. My sister was with her husband for a year but it didn't work out and they got separated. She is living with me since then. Now her husband wants to get married to another woman. He asked my sister's permission and she gave him a permission to get married. The problem is that we are in USA and her ex husband is in Pakistan. He said when he went to do Nikkah with another woman, the Imam who was doing the Nikkah asked for written letter saying that she gave him a permission and they need a copies of my mother's and mine ID Card. Is there such thing like that? My sister told him that she could talk to IMAAM over the phone but they keep on insisting for the written letter. What do we do? And where do we get such letter?
