Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Your Questions Answered (volume 5) Q.80: Redress For a Woman Neglegted By Her Husband Why can't a woman divorce a man? Under extremely difficult circumstances when the man has left his wife refusing to give her 'talaaq', how should she be able to marry another man? A.
In the condition mentioned in the question, the woman may refer her case to the Mujtahid (or his authorised agents) who would direct the husband to maintain her and treat her according to Islamic shari'ah. If the husband persists in his misbehaviour, the Mujtahid (or his agent) would give her talaq by his own authority. Why the woman has not been given the authority to give talaq to her husband? For its reason, read my booklet "Family Life of Islam" (pp. 44-52 and 63-67).
MARRIAGE WITH UNCLE'S DAUGHTER If I marry the sister of A, can my son marry the daughter of A? Q. 81: BIRTH CONTROL DEVICES AND RULE OF 'IDDAH If I enter in mut'ah and use Birth Control, is she required to observe 'idda after the expiry of the period of mut'ah or not? A. Yes. 'Iddah is compulsory, if sexual relation has been established even once. There is no escape from it. Q.82: CAN A WOMAN IN 'IDDAH GO FOR SHOPPING? During 'Idda, is a woman allowed to go out for shopping if she has no servant?
Should she remain in the house all day? A. She may go out during 'Iddah, if need be, observing proper hijab. Q. 83: CAN A MUSLIM WOMAN MARRY A NON-MUSLIM? A Shi'a adult girl wants to marry a Christian man. The man is not prepared to accept Islam. Can we arrange their marriage in our Imambara? If refused, they threaten to go to church for the marriage? A. Marriage of a Muslim woman with a non-Muslim man is not allowed in Islamic Shari'ah.
It is strictly forbidden in the Qur'an,and no Islamic sect has ever allowed it. There is no difference on this matter between Shi'a and Sunni sects. Therefore the said "marriage" wIll not be a marriage. It makes no difference whether any ceremony is performed or not, and If it is performed then it is done In church or masjid, it will be totally null and void; if the man and woman remain together they will be living in sin; and the children of such union will be illegitimate.
Q.84: ABOUT MUT'AH How many times a man can contract a woman in mut'ah? I mean to stay, with same woman. Suppose I contract mut'ah for 7 days and then after, say, one month I want to contract again with the same women. How many time in this way I can contract, mut'ah?
