My husband promised to accept Islam after our marriage


Q. My husband promised to accept Islam after our marriage. A short while after the marriage, he accepted Islam. However, soon thereafter he  began attending church and  said that he was not a Muslim. What is the state of our marriage?

A.  There never was a valid marriage. You never were his wife according to the Shariah. If he had had not accepted Islam before the marriage, then the Nikah was not valid. In that case you were living in adultery with him.  He is  not your husband. It is  absolutely necessary that you move out of his house. You have to separate yourself from him. Ill-luck and misfortune will overhang you as long as you are living with the kaafir man.
