Wife living away from her husband
Question
If a girl is not staying with her husband without a valid excuse for the last 4 months due to her mothers influence, is their nikah still valid and how long do they have to live apart for their marriage to be invalid?
Answer
It is wrong for her to do so and it is sinful. But this does not invalidate the nikaah.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
