Frequently Asked Questions

When does the husband's maintenance end?
By the marriage's end: by divorce (wife maintenance lapses, only ʿidda remains), by death (full maintenance ends), by khulʿ (lapses by agreement). Child support does not end with divorce.
Does insolvency void maintenance for the husband?
No — insolvency does not fully void maintenance. It may reduce the amount by capacity, postpone payment, open the door to separation for the wife, and remain a debt until solvency.
When does obligation continue despite marriage ending?
ʿIdda maintenance for the divorcée, child support, past-due maintenance as a debt unaffected by divorce, and adult-children's maintenance who cannot earn in cases.
