From a Toxic Relationship to a Marriage Proposal: My Dilemma

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I have been in a relationship with a person since 4 years. Since last 1 year he has made my life miserable by spying on me and talking rudely to me, relating me to other men and talking rubbish. We started fighting on these topics and somehow one day due to lot of misunderstandings he abused me to the core and told many bad words to me and my family. He broke every relation and stopped talking to me. I was very frustrated at that time and was crying everyday. I incidentally met a person on social networking and he was very funny and I used to divert my mind talking to him. There was nothing serious from both of us. One day he was talking something ugly and made non veg jokes. I stopped him once twice he did not listen. I stopped talking to him. After that my ex came suddenly and apologised and said he wanted to marry me. I didn’t want to talk to him but due to his regular phone calls I had to talk to him. He came to know throgh my id that I spoke to someone. How ever much I try to convince him, he always thinks I had an affair and he don’t trust me anymore. We both want to break this relationship but now we cant as our families are involved. Wo hamesha mujh pe shak karte even though I didn’t do anything. Is it the right decision to marry him? I am only believing that he might change after marriage and moving forward with him but I am also very scared.

Bismillaah

A: The relation that existed was haraam. All premarital relationships are forbidden and generally they have bad consequences. The best is to immediately stop it and ask Allah’s forgiveness.

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