The ruling on requesting divorce due to aversion toward the husband

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Umm Maryam, says: Shaykh, one month after my sister’s marriage, she requested a divorce. We convinced her to continue, but she insisted, saying, “I do not love this husband; I feel aversion toward him, or a strong aversion.” Is it permissible for her to request a divorce from this husband?

Answer:
If there is a reason for her request, because she does not love him and feels aversion toward him, she should seek a divorce from him by paying him a compensation for khul' so that he will divorce her. Yes.
