In India, a divorce pronounced under the influence of alcohol or drugs is generally not considered legally valid. The law requires a sound and conscious mind to make such a significant decision, and intoxication can impair judgment and intention.

Namaste. My sister got married eight months ago. Her husband went to Saudi Arabia for work and has been living there since. For the past six months, she has been requesting a khula (divorce) as she doesn’t want to stay with him. However, he keeps delaying the process, saying he’ll come back in December, but he hasn’t. He then promised to handle the khula procedures from Saudi Arabia, but for the past three months, she hasn’t been able to get in touch with him. What should she do in this situation?

My father bought a plot of land, about 4000 square feet, in 1978 and built a small house on it. He passed away in April 2006, leaving behind my mother, myself, a son, and two daughters.

As a Muslim, I’d like to understand how the property should be divided according to Islamic law. What are my rights, and what are the rights of my sons? I have one daughter and two sons. Can you please explain the process of dividing the property fairly?

Could you please advise on how to proceed with the divorce?
