In-laws demanding big amount of money
Question
I performed only nikah with a girl back in February 2016. Her elder sister is married with my elder brother. Now some problems happened between my brother and his wife and they even went to court for their personal matter solution. Her family started threatening us and told us clearly that they will not arrange to send their 2nd daughter who is my wife to our house untill we write any property or big amount on her name. We are not able to meet this demand and it was also not a part when nikah was performed. Now I have decided to divorce her immediately. But may be in future I still expect they might change their conditions. What should I do? If I divorce her, what will be the possibilities and how can I remarry her if any solution is done? Please guide me.
Answer
If you cannot manage these demands tell them that you cannot manage. You look at your own future. If the girl does not seem to be suitable then take someone else.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
