Catholic-Muslim Marriage Struggles: Coping with Cruel Taunts and Infidelity Threats

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I need some advice please, I’m Catholic and my husband is a Muslim. We have kids and I’m pregnant again (5months) and I work full time. He is not working but looking for something part time as I’m the bread winner due to my education. He keeps taunting me about how ugly and fat I am and how he wants a younger 2nd wife who is good looking and sorry to say better at sex as I’m a sack of potatoes. He will hold up a picture of a random girl and compare to me and say that’s what his future wife will look like. It’s so cruel I can’t cope anymore.

Bismillaah

A: If you feel that you cannot cope then ask him for a separation.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
