Eighteen years ago, I knew nothing about my religion, and I had no one to teach me the right path. But today, praise be to Allah, I have learned about my religion and my worldly affairs. There is a big problem in my life, which has to do with my marriage. I fell in love with a girl and loved her deeply, and I proposed to her more than once, but each time I met with refusal from her family, until I decided to do the marriage contract with her without the knowledge or prior approval of her family. This marriage was done in the personal affairs court in accordance with the Hanafi madhhab in the presence of a civil judge, who was not a man of religion (a shaykh or imam), and the witnesses to the marriage contract were unknown. After doing the marriage contract, I did not consummate the marriage with the girl, because the marriage contract was only a piece of paper to put pressure on her family so that they would agree to us getting married. In fact, after they came to know of this marriage contract, her wali (guardian) agreed, reluctantly, to the marriage. After that, I consummated the marriage with her. My question is: is my marriage to this girl regarded as valid according to Islamic teachings, or is it invalid, because it happened under compulsion?Her husband is sterile and she used sperm from a donor and got pregnant. Does her husband have to deny the child is his by means of li‘aan?
I was tested with infertility, so I had zero sperm count. My wife insisted for adoption, so her parents arranged a new born baby boy, whose biological parents we are not aware of in the year 2008. The child is effected with cerebral palsy. The main issue started in 2019 that my wife started working in school & ignored household duties, in mean time there was operation done for the kid, due to which my wife lived with her parents for 4 months, during this time she wanted to get separated & created a big issue blaming many things which are not true. After 4 months she agreed to return home but said she is pregnant. Initially she did not tell the truth but later she told me she got pregnant using test tube baby with sperm from donor. This act her parents are aware. Please let me know what are my duties. I have gone through you articles but they don't answer what is to be done. I know it is haram, how to go about in life. I am from a respected family, once the baby is born can I take care, how about haqiqa.validity of a marriage
What is the validity of a marriage in this situation: A man has a sexual relationship with a woman. The relationship results in a pregnancy. When the pregnant is in the third month they get married.

AS SALAAMU ALAIKUM I am interested in marrying this sister, that my mother doesn't approve off. My mother doesn't feel she is the right one for me. I am a virgin and the sister has a long sexual history. But I can tell that she has changed her behaviors and is practicing this deen better than i am.

Why it is not permissible for a muslim boy to marry who he wants? I have read that he could marry any girl who is a jew or christian? What is usually the reaction of their parents? Do they accept him and give him support? I think he should fight for the love he feel for someone who is a non muslim. What do yo think? He is not doing nothing wrong, just being happy.

I have heard that it is parents obligation to arrange for marraige of adult children and if they fail to do so, punishment for any sin committed by children is given to the parents.

Assalamu Alaikum: Upon chatting with a Muslim sister who recently moved to our community, I came upon something disturbing. She has been married for about 7 years (she was Catholic at the time and al hamdullilah she has reverted to the right path). Her husband was a brand new Muslim at that time. They were married in a church by a priest. He did not know any Muslims at the time and thought that marrying the people of the book could be done in a church. It was only last week that they both found out that the ceremony should have been conducted by a Muslim. They already have 4 kids. What are they supposed to do now? Is their marriage contract valid? Do they have to redo the ceremony? What about all the years they have been together not knowing that Muslims do not get married by priests? Please advise, so that we could correct the situation if it needs correction. Jazakum Allah Khairan.What to recite during a marriage ceremony
