Asalam-wailaikum. I would be very thankful to you if you give me the answer to my query as soon as possible. I wanted to know that if a mature boy and mature girl have performed nikah with the consent of their parents, but because the girl is studying the girls parents dont want her to go to her husbands house and stay till she completes her course because it would be difficult for her to complete her course if she takes the household responsibility, and if her husband and husbands parents agree to this condition that they will not have any husband-wife relationship before marriage, will it be right according to islam for 2 people in nikah to stay away without any relationship for 3 years,when both have agreed. thank you Plz guide me to make the right decision as soon as possible. allah hafiz
Answer:
(Fatwa: 1308/1065=D/1430)
One of the major objectives of Nikah is to be chaste and away from unlawful sexuality. After Nikah, the parents of husband are not right to set condition of rakhsati to take place after three years. The spouse can delay it for awhile with mutual agreement provided they are satisfied and have no fear of falling in sin.
