Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. A man married a woman, and after five years of marriage, he was afflicted with madness. Then his wife went to her parents' house, and she is currently still in his marriage bond. Does she have the right to demand annulment or not?
Answer:
If the madness has persisted with him, and she has no benefit in remaining in his marriage bond, and she is harmed by remaining in his marriage bond, then she may proceed to the Sharia court and have them look into her case. Yes.
