Dear Scholar. I was talking to my mother-in-law and informed her that my husband gave me one divorce and that now two are left.

When I asked why I was falsely told about his activities.. More

Ruling on conditional divorce in the past tense
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. My question is regarding a conditional promise of divorce. If the phrase is in the future it counts as a promise of divorce.

Staying out the house without husband's permission is recalcitrance
I am from Saudi Arabia. I have been married for the last six years (since 2009) with one daughter and one son.

An ambiguous case of multiple divorces

An imam told me that I can take her back anytime and I wrongly assumed that I can divorce and take her back as many times as I want. Also, to the best of my.. More

Her husband does not live with her without a valid reason
Assalaamu alaykum. My question is about a husband being away from his wife without valid reasons. My husband allowed me to move from his state to be with my son in another state.
