Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if a man becomes insane and he was married before his insanity, does his wife remain under his responsibility?
Answer:
Yes. His wife remains under his responsibility. If the insanity persists and the wife is harmed, the judge is consulted to remove the harm from her. Either the judge orders the guardian of the insane man to divorce her, and the guardian provides for his maintenance, or the judge himself divorces her. Yes.
