Question:
The questioner says: I am a married woman with three children, and there are quarrels between me and my husband. In one of them, he broke the finger of my right hand, and in another, he broke the bone of my forearm. Do I have the right to impose a sum of money on him as compensation for myself and for my honor, which was violated, knowing that in the first instance I forgave him, but in the second instance I did not forgive him?
Answer:
This is a dispute between you and your husband. If you wish to claim your right, this is done at the court. You file a lawsuit against him at the court, and the court summons him, sees what happened, and rules between you in accordance with the Shari'ah, if Allah wills. Yes.
