Q: I am a wife and I make serious oaths that if I do something then my nikaah is invalid with the intention of my nikaah breaking… I also make oaths that if I do not do something then my nikaah is invalid with the intention of my nikaah breaking if I break the above mentioned oaths… On numerous occasions I broke my oaths exactly like the oaths described above. Is my nikaah valid even though I broke these oaths being married and made these oaths being married?
A: The nikaah does not break. You will have to give the kaffaarah of the oaths you broke. A woman does not have the right to divorce.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
