Dear Dr.Subhy Mansur Salaam Last Year I got married to a girl. It was a short-lived marriage which was never consummated and we did not have intercourse. we had some major disagreements from the very beginning and I used to remind her of our differences but she would not care eventually we held a wedding and I took her to my house which is the opposite of my parent`s house we lived for just three months and I used to argue with her until everything went out of control. we went to a counselor she said its better to get divorced. her mom came to my house and told me to leave implicitly! and after two weeks had passed since I had resided in my parent`s house we or in fact she decided to get divorced by mutual consent. I wanted her to think again but she said she will not live with me. even though when I was angry I used to say to her that divorce you soon Sorry if it messes with your head After filling for divorce, I have been staying with my parents for 6 months now and am going to move to my house soon Today I read somewhere you had said to someone who was going to get divorced from his wife of 5 years not to do it because it is йсу Now I want you to give me comfort please Have I done something bad to her? She loved money and i was poor . what about this verse : 33:28? She took away money and gifts even though she said she does not want her Mahr which was 200 gold coins! I want to get comfort by your reply my conscience I mean . thank you Dr. Subhy Mansur
Answer

Verse 28 of chapter 33 has nothing to do with your case. It was about the Prpohet Mohamed in his life. In your case , she was givin what she wanted and you are free to marry after the divores is completed according to the American law.Your conscience should be comforted.

Good luck.
