Gifts belong to the wife in case of divorce


According to Islam a wife is entitled to receive her haq mehr in case if
she is divorced by her husband. Haq mehr is not the only thing which
the wife takes home in case of divorce. She is entitled for other things
such as her dowry articles and gifts which she receive during the
tenure of relationship.

Often it happens that when the husband divorces his wife, she leaves the
house of husband immediately in single clothes. Her suitcases, jewelry,
dowry articles and other belongings remain in the house of husband
unless the parties come to an understanding later on.

The wife is entitled to receive everything belonging to her lying in the
house of her husband. The things gifted to her during the time of
relationship belong to her. Gift in islamic law can never be taken back
by the person gifting. So it is best to return gifts and all other
belongings to the girl once she is divorced.

In order to remove further disputes it is best to handover everything
through proper legal channel. For more consult

Divorce is not possible during pregnancy

A Muslim woman cannot be divorced during pregnancy. If a husband pronounces divorce to his wife during pregnancy, it is immaterial till delivery. However, if after delivery of child, it is not reconciled within 90 days, it becomes divorce. The reason is that the Iddah of a Muslim woman is 90 days after pronouncement of divorce by the husband. If divorce is pronounced to a Muslim wife during pregnancy, it becomes effective automatically after the end of pregnancy. The iddat of such lady starts from that day and if the divorce is not revoked in such time period of 90 days, then it becomes complete divorce. Once a women completes her Iddat after divorce, it means the divorce is final and irrevocable between parties. For  more , you can consult omara.khan789@gmail.com or call +923123450006
