Question
The father-in-law and daughter-in-law got involved in an illicit zina relationship. The daughter-in-law openly and shamelessly told her husband: "I no more love you and I have fallen in love with your father." The husband is devastated and is now staying with his Nana (grandfather). The father-in-law put the daughter-in-law in a flat with her children to live. 1) What is the status of the Nikaah of the daughter in law and son (husband and wife)? 2) What is the status of the Nikaah of the father-in-law and his wife (the boy's father and mother)? 3) Is maintenance still compulsory upon the husband for his children and the cheating wife?
Answer
While the Nikah is still valid, the wife has forever become haraam for her husband. He should necessarily issue Talaaq. He can never ever reconcile with her nor can the evil Iblees (the father-in-law) ever marry the slut.
2) The nikah of the shaitaan (the father) with his wife remains valid.
3) The children remain the father's. However, if they have taken the children away from him, then he will be within his rights to refuse paying maintenance. Never is maintenance for the slut incumbent on the husband.
Since the shaitaani/Ibleesi father is responsible for the disaster, he should pay the maintenance for the son's children. The husband should not pay any maintenance for the vile slut.
