The husband's situation when his wife is in financial straits

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
When a man marries, he finds that his wife is in a state of hardship, distress, poverty, and lack of money. Does he act as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said?

Answer:
Misfortune lies in a woman, a house, and a horse. So if he sees that she is of no benefit to him, he divorces her and seeks another. Yes.
