constant quarrels between the couples. After a major fight in November 2012,
Anam left the matrimonial home. Ahmed messaged her and said that if she
doesn’t come back within twenty-four hours, consider herself as divorced.
Anam did not come back. After four months of this incident, due to the
efforts of the friends and relatives of the couple, Anam came back and they
started living together again as husband and wife. In September 2015 a
daughter was born to them. Ahmed was not happy as he wanted a son and
asked Anam to give up the child, to which she refused. As a result, the
relationship between the couple was strained. Ahmed married again in
December 2015 to Shehnaz. He sent Anam back to her parent’s house. For
few months he sent certain amount of money but then he stopped. Anam tried
to contact him but he refused to even acknowledge her presence. Tired of the
charade, Anam filed an application for maintenance for herself and her infant
daughter in August 2016. Ahmed refused maintenance saying that he had
divorced Anam and as there was no intermediate marriage of Anam, there
living together was Haram (prohibited) and the child illegitimate. Hence he
was not obligated to maintain them. He provided Anam some money as
maintenance for the iddat period. Decide in the light of Islamic Law and case
laws. (Both the parties belong to Sunni sect)
