A woman requesting divorce due to her husband's mistreatment

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: If a woman requests a divorce because her husband mistreats her, is this forbidden by the Shari'ah?

Answer:
It is not permissible for her to request a divorce unless he is neglecting his rights toward her; if he is neglecting his rights toward her, she may request a divorce. Or if he is disobedient in his religion, she may request a divorce if he does not repent and abandon the sin. Yes.
