My Husband Lied: Shall I Divorce or Stay with Him?

31 December, 2019
Q My father arranged my marriage, but later he got to know that the guy has lied about his job and property. Now my father has passed away.

I did istakara but I did not get any response. I have no male sibling. In fact, no one can help. What should I do? Seek a divorce or stay in the marriage?

Answer

Salam Alaikum,

In this counseling video, you will learn:

Is there any reason behind his lying?

Is he a good man beside this problem? Does he treat you well? Maybe you should give him a chance.

Continue making istikhara.

Set a time, give it 6 months to decide whether you want to stay in this marriage.

Seek help from your local imam.
