Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman asking, and she says: I do not deny the ruling on plural marriage, but I cannot bear it for myself, and my husband wants to do it, so I fear for my religion. Her question is: I have heard from some people that it is permissible for a woman to request khul' for this reason, so is what they mention correct? Yes. To request khul' for this reason.

Answer:
It is not permissible for her to do that. She should be content with the ruling of Allah, perhaps this is better for her and for him. So do not dislike anything that Allah has made permissible. Yes.
