I have another question, these aren’t really serious for me so i don’t care to ask an alim, but i just want different people’s opinion.
After nikkah and before rukhsati, is it husband responsibility to support his wife financially even if the wife is still living with her parent’s??

Why, all of a sudden your parents can't afford you anymore? Carry on with your life the way it has always been, when you do move in with your man he will take care of your stuff.

nikaah is what matters in the sight of Islam. after the nikaah man and woman are husband and wife and man becomes 'qawwaam' [sustainer/provider] for his wife so it would be his responsibility. RuKhsatii has no legal Islamic bearing. it's adopted from Hinduism and there is no place for this concept in Islam.

Islamically, your husband is supposed to provide you emotional, physicall and financial support.

Desically, it depends from family to family. Most of the desi husbands in such situation are not responsible of kharch-pani of bv. :@:

If you aren't responsible for providing him the comfort he desires - Then hell NO :D

LOL Amen to that brother.

Well yeh, technically he is responsible. But pratically I don't think that happens often. Life goes on as it was until you finally move in together.
And later on when you are staying at your parents' house, he will take care of your expenses and stuff.

The last statement was approved by Captain Obvious.

I don't think he is responsible. I wouldn't be comfortable taking from him unless I am living with him and have that comfort already.

I think in this situation...its best to wait until after rukhsati.

Islamically - he is responsible AND so are you.

If you're waiting until after rukhsati to fulfill your obligations towards him...what's wrong with him doing the same?

Re: is my husband responsible for my finance?

Yes he is responsible.
From a very technical point of view.

But it isn't generally how things are done. My husband immediately set up a certain amount to my name after the nikah. A bulk sum beyond the haq mehr (since these are two separate issues). I havent touched it to date since naturally my parents are not shirking away from maintenance. But it was the right thing to do as far as he was concerned.

Technically he is responsible but won't it be weird to take money from him until you live with him? What if Between nikah and rukhsakti, the time
Span is 1-2 years. Taking $ from husband may be awkward. HOWEVER, it cannot be denied that it IS his responsibility as you are his wife in the eyes of God.

Depends on person to person, and on families.

My Gd friend's rukhsakti was 1.5 yr after nikah and her husband sent money to her every month. But they knew each other for many years so understanding was there, thus it wasn't so awkward for her
