Question:
My wife converted to Islam before we got married. She converted to Islam before she came to Pakistan to marry me. When I moved to Australia after we got married, my wife said she only converted to marry me. Please advice what should I do. We have daughter as well. Should I leave or stay and try to change her behaviour by showing good faith and good behaviour and fulfill her rights according to islam.
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
You answered your own question, after all what is the benefit of showing her a bad face of Islam? How many people, Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani said, have converted for love and end up being more pious than their “born-Muslim” spouse? In any case, if she was from Ahl al-Kitab, she was not obligated to convert.
And Allah knows best,
