Is it permissible for me to file a lawsuit against my husband's relatives due to the problems they caused, and is it permissible to file a case in the civil court to obtain the maintenance (nafaqah) that I am entitled to? What is the ruling of Islamic law on this divorce? Does Islam compel a man to pay maintenance or compensation to his divorced wife after the waiting period ('iddah)? And can assistance be sought from the Sharia court or the civil court? What is the meaning of verse 241 from Surat Al-Baqarah?

If a man divorces his wife three times, whether by a single utterance or by separate words, only one divorce counts as valid according to the more preponderant opinion. The husband has the right to take back his wife as long as she is within her waiting period (iddah). A wife divorced with a revocable divorce is entitled to maintenance during her waiting period, and it is not permissible to expel her from her home, as Allah Almighty says: (Do not expel them from their homes). Consolation payment (mut'ah) is obligatory for a divorced woman according to some jurists, while it is recommended according to the majority, and its amount depends on the husband's financial situation. The divorced woman should resort to Allah Almighty.
