Frequently Asked Questions
- What is NOT considered nushūz?
- Leaving for legitimate reasons (consented work, family visit, worship, treatment), refusing to move to an unsuitable residence, refusing before prompt dowry is paid, and leaving due to husband's harm.
- How does the wife defend in a nushūz case?
- By stating the legitimate reason (violence, insult, no suitable home), submitting evidence of harm, witnesses, medical reports, and proposing return on conditions (suitable home, no repeat of harm).
- Does child support lapse with mother's nushūz?
- No — child support is the children's independent right and is unaffected by the mother's nushūz. It continues on the father in full.
