  1. Salam sister,

    Just read your mail. May Allah reward you for you registering patience. There is no rule in Islam that you have to obey your in laws .you should respect them.you can always demand a seperated house if you are so troubled and anyway you don't have to live with non mahram men like your father in law. If you are husband is not standing for you then he doesn't love you and it's you who is after him. You should probably talk and looking at your email I can say you speak very good English and since you have written this email you even know how to operateach basic computers. If you have no means of livelihood you can always work if you are educated to earn a living. You don't have to live with people who don't respect you and if your husband is not treating you properly then you can always take a talaq and if you are talking about your son or thinking of him I am sure Allah knows the best. If you are working you can take care of your means if you earn and also you can support your parents instead at their home than staying with such inhuman people. I have you an answer as per myour level of courage and I am working women if you are in parda it is allowed to work .so think about your future in this home .Do istikhara and take a step . I will pray for Allah to help you and give you strength. Aameen!!

    • W.salam Heena
      Sister i know my husband doesnt loves me.i am a govt primary teacher and my income is 18k in which i have to give 5k each month to my mother in law and in remaining i have to fullfill my baby's and husband's needs.yes i have told my husband that my in laws have no rights upon me and now after showing hiM evidence now he agrees..from last 2 months m at my fathers house..my husband doesnt tells me but i have a strong believe that his mother has closed her house door for us..i have talked to my brother n my father about my problems n told them i want to take khula..my brother isnt willing..he says that if ul take khula ur mother in law will strt to spread rumors about u like last time she did that u have an affair n blah blah..my brother has talked to my husband n to my in laws that this is the last warning.after that brother said v will file a case on them.

  2. Asalam Walaykum I hope you are in good health. It broke my heart reading that you are going through a terrible treatment. But you know, Allah never places a burden on which the soul cannot bear. You are still going strong! Keep going! Mashallah your son is doing fine so let him be your motivation to do things. Go out there and work, goto school, indulging your hobbies, etc. You most defintiely do not owe anything to his in-laws nothing at all sweetheart. Patience is a great thing and props to you for holding onto that. May Allah bless you with many rewards and happiness. I know you are putting up with it as much as you can but enough is enough. You better step your foot down and let em know what they are doing is not right. They are supposed to be your family and take care of THEIR GRANDSON. What kind of people are they? Why did they let their son get married if he can't handle a marriage. It's his duty to put them in their place too. Family or not you are his wife and you guys have a son. This is ridiculous. I really feel for you. I pray in my heart things get better and you move on to better things and surround yourself with people who love you. You deserve all the happiness you can get. Much love, keep praying <3

    • A.salam mei
      Ur comment means alot to me.i knw what m going through..its realy gettin hard for me now..but still waiting for a miracle.need loads n loads of prayers

  3. I cant believe how people can mistreat others thinking its ok. Its far too common.I suggest you tell your parents, and seek khula. Allah will replace him with someone far better. You can eat only half a roti? Please leave,and don;t be their punching bag nor maid.

    • My family is aware of whats happening to me.i knw how i get the half of roti i have to pay them 5000/ month n do all there work..even washing my brother in laws clothes n ironing dem.but still no respect

  4. Assalaamualaykum helplesswife,

    I am so sorry to hear of what you are going through...it is absolutely unbearable and you have tried so hard already. With everyday being such a struggle, you must be so tired and depressed. I echo the sentiments of the previous advisors that it is in your best interests to seek a way out of this situation. I know you love your husband, but his and his family's behavior and actions towards you are not loving. Love is not demonstrated through words or a piece of paper alone, but through consistent kind actions. And sometimes in life, the most loving thing we can do for someone is to leave them.

    Can I ask you...from what you write, it seems that your father is very supportive of you! Could you and your son move back in with him, your father? And then once there, once some time and space have intervened, come up with a game plan together on separating from your husband and/or divorcing him once you're distanced yourself physically and emotionally? You don't even have to think as far as all that immediately...just go to the protection of your father, and then once there, emotional separation from your husband will take place naturally over the course of time (it could be a couple of years). I think that in your situation, that might be the best thing you could do. There are other options such as going to a domestic violence shelter, and if you prefer that, you could call the police at any time to take you there. They accept people who have been physically, emotionally, and/or sexually abused, and they accept babies/children as well. You could get the phone number for your local shelter, give them a call, and ask for their advice as well. They are in the business (nonprofit of course) of helping people out of situations just like yours.

    Try one of those 2 options, sweetheart, and please do not hesitate to write again after some time if things aren't working out or if you come across another roadblock. Remember each and every difficult day, that Allah loves you and is on your side, and that He will create a way out for you.

    May you see the sunshine again and walk on the clouds,

    Hugs,

      Basicly my father and my father in law both are in real brothers.m married to my cousin n my aunt/mother in law has a v domintin persnlty.My mother in law has hindu mentality.

      • Assalaamualaykum Sister,

        I have made a dua for you, and Inshallah you will be guided to the best option for you.

        I know it must be so hard to have your mother in law underestimating the severity of your pain in having your C-section in comparison to her sister's vaginal birth. I'm very sorry to hear that you had to heal from that without the help of any painkillers. Indeed it is Allah that got you through and made you closer to Him. Remember that while it is always comforting to have someone acknowledge and validate our pain and feelings, that Allah, the Most Compassionate, knows exactly what you went through and will compensate you for it.

        Try not to worry about your mother-in-law's stories about your swearing and her black magic. These things have no power over Allah's truth and will be fruitless.

        Alhamdulilah you have a father and brother that are so supportive of you financially and are willing to stand by you through all of this. If I were you, I would tell them that you are feeling very weak through all of this and that you want them to "take over" so to speak. Let them handle the case and any proceedings and try to relax more often in their home rather than at your husband's.

        It sounds like you have a lot of tension on you right now and that you are not in a place where you feel comfortable making a final decision about your marriage. So I would suggest that you take one day at a time and take as good care of yourself as you can. That is all that is required of you at this difficult time. Drink lots of water, go to bed on time and get enough sleep, get outdoors every day or every few days (if possible), and take some deep breaths if you are able. Know that you are worth every bit of attention that you give to yourself.

        May Allah grant you peace.

        Hugs,

  5. Asalam Alekum

    These one sided stories really saddens me a lot.

    I suggest you should speak to your father about your situation.
    And tell your mother in law that your son is his grandson, maybe she has black magic on her.
    Allahu A'lam

    Play the Quran when you're in your in laws house.

    Ramadan Mubarak may Allah Subhan Wa T'alah bring peace, Joy and Barakah to every Muslim home. Ameen
