Question
A divorced woman was provided with full expenses during her Iddat. After the Iddat she is claiming alimony from her ex-husband and 50% of his assets. She intends going to court to gain her demands. Is there any scope in the Shariah for such action? What is her status?
Answer
She will become a murtadd if she proceeds to the kuffaar court to usurp the assets of her ex-husband. The invocation of kuffaar law by the ex-wife to usurp the wealth of her ex-husband is palpable kufr. She has absolutely no right to demand from her ex-husband alimony and 50% or even 1% of any of his assets.
The ex-husband may utilize any aspect of the land's laws to protect himself against the haraam demands of his evil ex-wife.
