🚪 Divorce, ʿiddah & rujuk · #147

My ex-husband still comes in and out of my house as if we were not divorced. How do I stop this?

Once the iddah has ended, he has no right to enter your home as he pleases, so set boundaries clearly and firmly. Tell him in writing that visits to the children must be arranged in advance and take place outside the house or only at the door. Change the locks if he still holds a key to your house. Do not be alone with him in the house, because he is now a non-mahram stranger (ajnabi) to you. If he refuses to respect these boundaries, acts aggressively or makes you afraid, call the police on 999. Talian Kasih 15999 can give advice, and a syarie lawyer can help you apply for a protection order. See domestic violence.
