Answer

(Fatwa: 767/677/1429=B)

(1) All these conditions are against Islam. The nikah will not be valid whether the conditions are written in the nikah letter or not.

(2) It is not allowed. You are advised to forget each other and you should not do any thing against the religion of Islam. Have patience, you may find other beautiful and desired Muslim girls to get married.
