Question:
My husband left me six months ago and did not pronounce the divorce. He left me and my children, and we are now in my father's house. What should I do? May Allah grant you success.
Answer:
Go to the judge and file a lawsuit against him. The judge is the one who will discuss this with him and compel him to provide maintenance, as you are entitled to it from him. Yes, we cannot compel him except through the judge, unless one of his friends or brothers who has influence over him advises him. So, try to find someone to advise him in this matter. Yes.
