Threatening one's wife with divorce to make her give up her day
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a husband gives his wife the choice to give up her day, and if he divorces her and she gives it up out of fear that he will divorce her, is the husband sinful for this action?
Answer:
Yes, he commits a sin for this. If there is no valid reason, such as old age or illness—neither in the wife nor in him—it is not permissible for him to threaten her with divorce or to deprive her of her right, as long as she is capable of being enjoyed. If he has no desire for her, he should divorce her and set her free. Yes. And if he has desire for her, he should give her her right.
