When is it permissible for a wife to request a divorce

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says — or rather, this is a woman asking, and she says: When is it permissible for a wife to request a divorce from her husband?

Answer:
If her husband treats her badly and she cannot bear the bad treatment, or if her husband has a bad character or neglects the prayer, she may ask for separation from him.
