Sister in Islam,

We make Dua Allah grant you the courage to overcome your difficulty. Ameen. We do not know where you reside in Australia. If you are in Melbourne, we advise you to refer to Mufti Faisal Riza of Darul Iftaa Melbourne (www.mufti-online.net) to assess the various statements of your husband and advise you accordingly. If you reside elsewhere, you may seek the advice of Mufti Faisal Riza to refer to an appropriate scholar.

In the meanwhile, turn to Allah with Zikr and Dua.
