Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman from outside the country, from America, who says that for three years she has not been living with her husband. She is asking him for a divorce for legitimate religious reasons and does not want to continue with him. Then she asks: What is the religious ruling on her seeking to annul the relationship with him? He is delaying me and does not want to end the matter with a divorce. So, is it annulled?
Answer:
She goes to the Shari'ah court and summons him, and they look into the problem between them. If they see that separation is necessary, they order him to divorce her. Yes. If he refuses to divorce her and the woman is being harmed, the court divorces him. Yes. It is obligatory to return to the court in this matter. Yes.
