Al Salam Alikoum brothers and sisters,

Three years ago I decided to get married and settle down so I got married back home and it took me a year and few months to bring her to the UK, during that time while she was away we had few arguments and fights it was always her shouting and screaming and I would just ignore and hope she will change when she comes back. Anyway when she got her visa and came to the country we had so many disagreements and she was talking bad of me to her friends and etc she even made me look bad infront of my family as if I made her life hell. I have never raised my hand or shouted at her I was just straight to the point with her i.e. she onced called my family at 10 in the evening to say she wants to talk about something that upset her due to me and I was thinking what the hell we didnt even fight yet so I told my family to not get involved and I told her if she ever does that again ill send her back “fyi I told her before I like my problems to be solved between us not get anyone invloved” anyways we had so many arguments and one day she decided to leave the house without informing me but told my dad its best we stay away from each other for few weeks. anyway fight after fight I decided its enough she doesnt listen to me and caused me too many problems with my family and it was affecting me so I called her dad and told him I will make a decission in 40 days ill pray istakhara and decide and her dad didnt even bother to try and convince me otherwise and my dad wouldnt let me speak to her. Anyway I gave talaq and she wanted to stay in the country so I said ok and she stayed at my familys house for a year now but now she wants to go back and in our nikah paper we didnt have any moakher so it says I dont have to pay anything after talaq but my family are saying I have to pay her back same amount I paid for her mahr and pay for the talaq paper and ticket to go back home. So im looking for the right advice do I have to pay her the full amount I paid for mahr or what do I do any advice will be great. I dont want to make a mistake and get more sin talaq is enough

If you have not yet given her Mahr, give her the 'Mahr' which was agreed upon. That is her right. You also have to maintain her during her Iddat Period - i.e. 3 months. Out of goodness, pay for her flight back home.
