Question:
As for the first question of this evening, the questioner says: A woman has been boycotted by her husband for four months. Is it permissible for her to request a divorce, knowing that the boycott has no reason?
Answer:
If there is no reason on her part and she has not wronged her husband, but rather he is the one who wronged her, then she is between two things: either she is patient and waits, and that is better, or she requests a divorce if there is harm to her in remaining, she requests a divorce. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 2340Da'if (Darussalam) Allah the Exalted says: "So either keep them with kindness or let them go with kindness."
