From what i hear, pregnant women cannot be divorced until they have the baby, A friend of mine had problems with her husband while being pregnant and left the house , but she could not get her divorce till she delivered her baby.

I understand that it is hard to be a wife to a man who has another. This is why I am the first wife and have in my contract that there will be no others.\n\nBut as to your problem first you are in a religious marriage not a legal one. Therefore nothing you are doing is illegal. Unless you did marry him in the court then it is illegal but not for you for him. \n\nIs the first wife coming to stay or just a visit.\n\nIf it is a visit then you have nothing to worry about she will be gone before you know it.\n\nBut if she is here to stay you will have to get to know her and understand more of the Islamic faith. In order for him to have more than one wife he has to be able to give everything to you and her equally even his love. \n\nIf he can not be equal with money, housing, gifts, and his heart you have the right to leave him and take what ever you were given in the contract, plus three months of support.\n\nAs for the wife you are going to be around her a lot so you should try your best to become best friends with her. If the two of you can join together you will be happier. Plus you will be able to completely control everything and he will not be able to stop you. Especially since the Quran says he is to make his wife happy in all ways and now he has to make two wives happy. \n\npower in numbers

Hello Levente...\n\nFor a practising Muslim, any kind of western style dating is not allowed... Holding hands, hugging, kissing, oral sex, even being in the same room alone together are banned!\n\nLet me explain...\n\nOutside marriage any kind of fornication is a sin, and by fornication a mean anything even a lustful look. There is a Hadith that says that it worse for a man to have an axe through his head than even accidentally touch who is not his mahram (wife or blood relative) women.\nFor women (like me) when I'm outside or with non mahram, I must wear hijab (cover myself fully) and I'm not allowed to be alone with a man. etc etc.\n\nWhen I do decide to get married it is not Islamic to have a long engagement etc. And I won't be alone with my fiance until after marriage. Typically family and friends help find prospective partners, and then arrange a meeting where maybe they leave us 2 in a room, and they wait outside with the door open! And then if you are still not sure it is OK to ask questions by phone etc, before you get married.\n\nAs you see it is very different from the western version of romance!! \n\n\nOf course not all Muslim women follow the Koran as strictly as this and we do live in the modern world..but this is the ideal!\n\nAnd I forgot... Its the same for men too of course they are not allowed relationships outside marriage too

I'm a religious Muslim girl .. and believe it or not .. Women are free to work or stay at home for her family ..\n\nfor women in Islam .. her priority is her Family then her work ..\n\nBut for men in Islam .. his priority is his work .. as he is the main provider for his family in Islam .. while Woman in Islam is not required to provide any money or food for her family ..\n\nEven if woman wanted to work .. all the money she earns is hers and hers only .. and she is free to do whatever she wants with it ..\n\nWhile man in Islam is required to provide everything for his family .. and to give money to his wife to use it to spend on their family even if she has her own money ..\n\nMan can never force his wife into doing anything she doesn't want in Islam .. \n\nSimply, In Islam a woman has her own free will to do whatever she wants, work, stay at home, have her own money, get money from her husband to spend it for their family requirements ..\n\nWoman has so many rights in Islam that are not in any-other religion or Country .. see it for yourself:\nhttp://jannah.org/sisters\nhttp://www.iad.org/books/S-women.html\n\nanyone needs anything about Islam please don't hesitate to contact me and i will help you as much as i can ..

I have been in this same situation.  This is not advice, but how it transpired for me.  My ex-wife was not good for myself and my two sons.  I left her.  I had those same exact thoughts and dilemma on what to pray for. Take her back and get the good and the really bad.  Or go solo with two young children and deal with loneliness and single parent struggles.  What I realized was that my ex-wife was not doing what I believe was the will of GOD. And that was to take care of us and do what was pleasing to GOD.  So I opted to take the less traveled road and not go back. 14 years have passed since then.  I still have my sons.  I have my second wife now going on 12 years.  I have an adopted daughter who is almost 4.  My life is tremendously better than it was back then.  Why? I found a person who REALLY loved my sons and myself unconditionally. Also, she was a real living example of a Christian.  By the way, her first husband ditched her after she sent him through numberous colleges.  Funny how GOD works. Sometimes your answers will come in the most unusual ways.  GOD gives insight and wisdom to get you through. Take Care of yourself. You will do what is right.  Just remember, there can be great gain by experiencing loss.  Also, I am not an advocate of divorce. However, it is necessary for the welfare of the children and yourself if your spouse hardens their heart with no recourse after much prayer and pleading.

I would suggest both you & hubby go to a Christian church in your neighborhood... The Pastor can give you free counselling which would be very beneficial. God restored my marriage and is better than before...He can do it for you but you need to have Faith in Him(Jesus). Plus you both need to ask Jesus in your heart.\n\nGod says:\nJer 29:11-13\n\n11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back from captivity.\n\nSeek and you will find.\nYou can also try reading "Power of a Praying Wife" by Stormie Omartian. Your hubby can start reading "Power of a Praying Husband" It is an eye opener in life, marriage, prayer & God. \nYou see 2 yrs. ago there was infidelity in my marriage. satan was telling me how unhappy I am in my marriage etc...and I started throwing divorce at my husband here and there. I praise God my husband was patient with me. I started praying about it bc I knew Prayer is Powerful. My husband prayed too. Some months went by and I started looking at my marriage in a different perspective. There was forgiveness which is very important. I was more loving and not so negative. I had joy and bitterness had left. \n\nSatan wants to destroy you & hubby & marriage. DON"T LET HIM!\n\nI pray you & your hubby choose Jesus! The truth will set you free. Not the lies that satan is whispering to him & you.\n\nGod Bless! \n\nP.S. By going to church, your children will also benefit. They have nice childrens programs and such a great environment for them.

you guys should never get physical. one of you should have left the room.\n\naccording to the Islamic Shari'a you have the right to divorce him.\n\nbut i just wanna give you a little piece of advice, try to work things out especially if you two have kids together. give him one more chance to change, if he didn't change then divorce him. but for the sake of your kids try to work it out.\nI'm sorry this is happening to you sister.\n\n---\nedit:\ni read the second part, like i said give him just ONE more chance to change after you tell him how you feel, get it all off your chest. \nif that didn't work\nget a divorce..\n\nmay Allah guide you both and grant you wisdom.\n\npeace.\n-----------\n\nEDIT:\n\nbroken bones??!! oh my God. there's no more chances sister!!\nI'm afraid you should get a DIVORCE ASAP.\ni want you to ask a scholar about Khul'. he should tell you how it's done whether there should be something done from the religion perspective or just go by the Law of the Land (filing for divorce in court).\nsee here\nhttp://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?cid=1118742803355&pagename=IslamOnline-English-Ask_Scholar/Page/FatwaCounselE

Try a book or a video that has chapters/topics such as:\n\n1. Fetus capabilities at each level of the pregnancy (reminder that it is a life)\n2. A spiritual relationship with God can help to cope with the stress of an unplanned pregnancy.\n3. Governmental/Non-Profit organizations to offer advice.\n\n\n\n\nBasicly it is a product to inform women who are considering abortion that assures them there is help out there.\n\n\n\nHope this helps.

Contact the consulate again  and they will help you!!!! However I encourage your daughter to wait until she is of legal age!!! She is still a child and it is hard enough to take on the new role of mother plus now a wife too!!!\nSounds like a recipe for divorce in a few years from now!!\n\n\nRemember that is only my opinion on marriage for the young!!!  I do not know what your personal beliefs might be and I would not wish to disrespect any of your cultural traditions or religious beliefs!!\n\nGood Luck and may your grandchild be wonderful!

This is a complicated question.  Since you have not given any detals on why you are unhappy.  Is he abusive?  Or what.  Now we all know how God feels about divorce.  But God is also an understanding and forgiving God.  All if forgiven if asked.  No one has the right to judge except for God and there are so many religions out there that  expect you to live their way.  Well you know what there is a difference between religion and christianity.  Religion is what you believe and Christianity is what you live.  I personaly don't care what others think, only what God thinks is important to me.  God would want you to do all that you can to make the marriage work.  But in the same time he wouldn't want you to live your life being misserable.  Divorce is forgiven by God.  Pray to him he will guide you.  Put your turst in him.  Never put you trust in man or religion they will always let you down.  Go to God in prayer tell him how you feel.  Always be open and honest with him.  Even thro he all ready knows what you are thnking and feeling he still wants to hear it from you.  Good luck and God Bless you

I am not a Muslim but you should be able to to find it at a Barns & Noble book store.  Interesting that the Koran references the Bible & Bible prophets throughout.
