Pre-marital due-diligence kit: a red-flag audit, values worksheet, and a step-by-step guide to discussing deal breakers before nikāḥ.Contract workshop: 25+ ready examples of shurūṭ you can adapt (housing, education, finances, relocation, polygyny, counselling), with model wording, what’s valid/void, and how to record changes grounded in arkān, mawāniʿ, and cross-madhhab notes.Decision trees for reconcile vs separate, mapping routes to ṣulḥ, imām-led arbitration, and if harm persists lawful dissolution (ṭalāq, khulʿ, faskh).Case studies from diaspora life: digital deception and secret marriages, immigration exploitation, addiction, financial neglect (nafaqah), coercing a spouse into sin, and abandoning prayer, what counts as a deal breaker and what evidence to keep.Health & intimacy guidance: a clear summary of ʿuyūb (defects), juristic differences, and practical pathways to assessment and annulment without breaching modesty.Faith & suitability: navigating al-kafāʾah fī al-dīn, spiritual incompatibility, and contemporary fatwās (including Mālikī nuances).Civil-law crosswalk: registration, safeguarding, documenting harm, protective orders, and how to align community mediation with local law.Custody made clear: stages from infancy to sin al-tamyīz and maturity, conditions for custody, and child-centred remedies.Designed for couples, parents, imāms, chaplains, and counsellors, this book offers checklists, templates, one-page summaries, and conversation scripts, so you can protect dignity, uphold mercy, and act decisively when the line is truly crossed.
