ANSWER:

It was not a valid nikah.

This has no value as it was a mockery of Islamic rulings!

Repent to Allah sincerely while showing deep remorse and never be in a haram relationship again as this is totally prohibited in Islam.

QUESTION: At 15, I did nikah via text without wali/witnesses on my side but i don’t know if he had witnesses and read both my proposal and accepted it audibly what if he did so. Was this valid in any way? If so, how to get a divorce if he is unreachable? We shared details via text about each other but we never met, heard or saw each other. I’m 19, it’s been 4 years since we broke up, I even forgot his name.

QUESTION: Sheikh, I am not comfortable with a Tabligh Jamaat proposal due to strict Tabligh practices I do not agree with. My parents believe it is the best option and that I will have no pressure after marriage, but they are pressuring me despite my refusal. Please advise me.

QUESTION: I seek advice. Only one man proposed. He has good character, but I know more about religion and he cannot read Quran, though I always wanted a husband to lead me. He is poor, while I am wealthy. My mother is against him. I am very insecure and fear no one else will ever marry me, so I cling to this chance. Should I marry him despite the gap in knowledge and wealth because I really want a family?
