The ruling on a woman asking her husband for a divorce

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the sisters asks: What is the ruling on a woman asking her husband for a divorce?

Answer:
If this is for a legitimate reason, she may ask for a divorce. If he is withholding his rights from her, or if he treats her badly, or if there is a defect in his religion such that she fears for her religion and that of her children, she may ask for a divorce for a legitimate reason; she has that right. But if there is no reason, it is forbidden for her to ask for a divorce without a reason. Yes.
