Unfortunately, your husband is not being accommodating enough for your situation and circumstance. He should know better that our beautiful religion is tolerant, forbearing and forgiving. You barely being cognitive and extremely sick means your circumstances change, and nobody has right to say anything. Please refer to verse 61 of Surah al-Nur, which expicitly says this. 

Marrying a revert means he must accommodate to your needs of gradual learning and understanding, and if he didnt mind you staying christian, then he has no right to object. He should be extra grateful that you have come this father, and whichever path you choose, that is for you. 

My advice to you, my sister, is learn more about the religion, study and research, to understand Islam and you will definitely appreciate what it has to offer to you. 

Many born Muslims really have no idea what Islam represents, and they definitely do not represent Islam. 

Your husband should have more patience, and as Muslims, we are taught to be humble and apologise when we are wrong. 

With prayers for your success

As long as the nikah was done, and talaq has not been recited, she is still considered married. 

However, why would her parents prevent her from living with her husband. That is very wrong and must be solved immediately. Either she lives with her husband, or she gets divorced. It is unfair for her to be in this situation.

And Allah knows best

When both husband and wife are in Paradise, Allah Grants both of them the best to make every one from them as the best for the other. Your husband will be granted with the best that will not even dream, and you will see him as the most wonderful man in the Paradise, same you will be granted the best that your husband will see you as the most wonderful woman in the Paradise.

You are married.
If your husband touched you during your Iddah period, the Talaq is nul and void immediately and you are married to one another as you were before the divorce.

Yes, these things are permissible, or rather even mustahab, as a form of foreplay. Our religion Islam encourages one to fulfil the sexual needs of the spouse, and not only their sexual needs. This is why foreplay is mustahab. 

Of course, as semen is najis, that would be the only concern, to make sure that najasah is not swallowed. 

And Allah knows best.

If wife no longer wishes to be with husband, for whatever reason, she will not be punished, unless she has wronged him. If she no longer had the tolerance or patience to be with him, then she is not going to be held accountable for that. She probably did her best, and it could have been too overwhelming for her. 

This is more a moral situation, rather than a shar'i situation. 

And Allah knows best

No, it is not mandatory, and she does not need to do any household responsibilities for them, unless it is out of her own good-will and her kindness. 

Her focus should be on her new life with herself and her husband, and her only duty to her in-laws is respect them like her own parents, honour them, treat them well, but does not need to do anything she does not want to.

Her husband and her in-laws should of course know what Islam says, and should accommodate to this as well.

No. Abortion is killing a human being in early formation. Abortion is not permissible at all except in the case of saving the life of the mother if pregnancy can kill her.

We believe in Allah's absolute Wisdom and Knowledge and Mercy,b that is why we never argue with any rule from Allah. We know that He Knows all the reasons even if we don't know. Real believers submit to all the rules which came from Allah (SWT) through His Messenger (SAWA).

We might know part if the reason but can never expect knowing full reason because of our limitations as human beings.

Woman covering her body might be related to the fact that woman in her nature is more attractive to men, that is why she needs to cover herself.

Woman is allowed one husband only at the time, because of her dignity and respect which part of her creation as a human female. Usually, noble females from any faith or religious or cultural background, don't accept nor digest having more than one husband at the time. That is part of her nature.

Wassalam.

Hijab is an obligation, and it is obligatory for every Muslim man and woman to observe their hijab, according to the boundaries and requirements of dress code set for each gender.

It should not need to reach any form of punishment, because the Muslim should be proud and honoured to implement and practice his/her faith.
