I am a muslim boy, married 6 years ago and have a 4 year old daughter. I lived happy for two year until my Father-in-law had financial troubles. He fooled my wife and sold all my gold without my knowledge. He is a egoistic person, he does not want to admit his guilt, so Before the truth prevailed, he convinced my wife that he will septate me from my parents and registered false dowry case against all my family members. He then prevent me from going abroad and tried to extract huge amount of money for closing the dowry case. But with the grace of GOD, his plans did not work out as we got Quash from High court.
From two years my wife is at her fathers home and he is trying every effort to divorce her and gain financially. I have been in constant touch with her and she was willing to come to me as soon as I return India. She is immature and blindly follows her dads orders without questioning from childhood. She belives her father cannot do harm to her.
From six months, I have not spoken to my wife or daughter. Now My Father-in-law is demanding divorce(Qula) from me as he wants to remarry her daughter, and threatened me that he will take divorce from Sharia Commette if I refuse. He also says that my daughter will stay with her mother and step father and he does not need any maintenance from me.
I hope to save my marriage and I am worried about my daughter's future.
Please study my case and let me know
1. How Sharia commette can give divorce on my behalf and Is there a way to legally challenge such divorce.
2. If my wife happens to remarry, can she keep my dauhter with her or she has to give to dauther to her mother?
3. If my wife happens to remarry, can I(or my mother) claim custody of my daughter?
