The questioner:
May Allah reward you. One of the sisters says, may Allah bless you: What are the rights of a woman who has been abandoned by her husband for years?
The Shaykh:
She is required to demand her rights before the judge, and he will clarify her rights against her husband. Yes.
The questioner:
She says: If I seek a divorce, will I be sinful for doing so?

This is before the judge; if the situation requires seeking a divorce, she may seek a divorce. Yes.
