Question

Assalamualaikum warahmatullah hi wabarakatahu Respected Mufti sahab, If due to husband's pressure to go for an abortion,the wife leaves the husband's house and is living at her mother's place with her 2 year old child and is pregnant at the same time, while the husband is not giving anything as expenses, does the nikah still hold its validity despite the fact that it's 3.5 months already? Please enlighten us on this situation as soon as possible. Jazakallah khair

Answer

Wa alaikumus salaam warahmatullahi wabarakaatuh. The nikaah still stands good in case nothing has been pronounced by the husband which may lead to talaaq.
