Does a woman become divorced if her husband curses her, and what is the ruling on this cursing? Is it permissible for her to take birth control pills?

Question:
She asks and says that she is a married woman who has given birth to a group of children from her husband. The husband does not perform the prayer at its time, especially the Fajr prayer; he does not pray it until eight o'clock. She says she has spoken to him many times so that he would pray, but he responds to her with curses and anger, and he insults her father. People say that if a husband curses his wife, she is considered like a divorced woman. Is this statement correct? The questioner says at the end of her letter that she fears the children will do what this father does, and she no longer gives birth to children from him out of fear of that. She says, and sometimes I am sick and he does not take me to the hospital. I have taken medication that permanently prevents pregnancy. Does she have a sin in that or not? Please inform us of this.

Answer:
This husband is a bad husband. We ask Allah for guidance for us and for him. The fact that he delays the prayer from its time is a great crime. Whoever intentionally delays the prayer from its time has committed a major sin. Some scholars hold that his prayer is not valid, because one of the conditions for its validity is performing it at its time. If he delays it intentionally without a valid religious excuse, it is not valid from him if he prays it after the time has passed. This is a great danger. He adds to that that he curses his wife.
If you command him to do what is right and forbid him from what is wrong, and this is a great error and a great sin; because cursing in itself is a crime and evil, may Allah protect us. The believer is not one who curses or one who strikes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that cursing a believer is like killing him. A woman cursed her camel during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while she was traveling with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that what was on the camel be taken and that it be left alone. The narrator said, "It is as if I am looking at it walking, and no one touches it." This indicates the danger of this ugly word, especially when it is directed toward the wife who is his wife and the mother of his children.
He insults her and curses her. The danger in this is great. As for her being divorced as some common people think, that if she is cursed she is divorced, this is an error and a mistake. A woman is not divorced by cursing. However, the husband sins for this thing, and it is obligatory for him to leave this thing, and to accept advice, and to obey the advice, not just for the sake of the wife, but as obedience to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and fulfillment of the duty upon him, and avoiding the anger of Allah upon him. As for her taking what prevents pregnancy, this is not permissible. Preventing pregnancy is not permissible except in dire necessity. If there is a fear for her life from the pregnancy, if there is danger to her life, then it is permissible for her to take what prevents pregnancy. But to prevent pregnancy while she is ready for pregnancy in her body and her health, this is not permissible for her. Yes.
