Re: nikah validity..
In khula, you have to give your mehr BACK. Not forgive it.
Not really.
You file for an annulment within three months of the marriage, say he/she lied to me and this marriage is not valid for whatever reason and you get it. I know because mine was initially an annulment.
The only reason I let it turn into a divorce was because if I didn’t he’d have gotten deported and never been able to make a life for himself here.
