A mother requesting the divorce of her son's wife unjustly

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If my mother asks me to divorce my wife unjustly, even though she is a good wife, am I allowed to divorce her? And what does that mean?

Answer:
My brother, do not obey your parents in this; even the father is not to be obeyed in divorcing a righteous woman whom you are pleased with, who is righteous in her religion and character. Do not divorce her. However, be dutiful to your parents. Divorce is not a form of dutifulness to parents. Being dutiful to your parents is not divorcing your wife, unless she is bad and treats them badly; in that case, it is a different matter. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
