My iddah is almost over and I do not yet have a place to live. What are my options?

Start planning now, and make sure the children's right to housing is discussed too, not only yours. If you hold custody of the children, the question of where they will live is part of the father's responsibility for child maintenance. Discuss this with your ex-husband in writing, or take it to the Syariah Court if there is no agreement. At the same time, list temporary options: the family home, a small rented house near the children's school, or sharing with relatives. Contact the zakat office and the Social Welfare Department (JKM) to ask about rental assistance or temporary shelter. Refer to the zakat and welfare assistance page.
