Ruling on boycotting one of the wives because he does not love her

Question:
Her final question is: A man has boycotted his wife for more than ten years, and she remained in one country while he was in another. He married another woman and had children from her. The woman he boycotted has children from him, the eldest of whom is now thirty years old. Is it permissible for this man to boycott her for all this time, knowing that he is able to travel to that country? Also, has she become forbidden to him because of his boycotting her on the pretext that he does not love her?

Answer:
If she has not forgiven him and has not accepted this, then he has no right to boycott her. Rather, it is obligatory for him to be just, or to divorce her. However, if she has forgiven him and said, “If you wish, come; and if you do not, there is no harm,” then he owes nothing. Suda (may Allah be pleased with her) left [the matter] when she asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to keep her in his marriage. She gave her day to Aisha when he was about to divorce her, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) agreed to that and gave her day to Aisha.
So there is no blame on him in that. But if she does not, if she does not accept this, then he must be just or divorce her. Either he says to her, “Forgive me for what I did, or I will divorce you.” If she says, “No, I do not forgive,” then either he must be just, or he must divorce her. This or that is required of him: either he is just, or he divorces her. But if she says, “No, I am forgiving. If you come, may Allah welcome you, and if you go, I have no objection; do not divorce me,” then there is no blame on him.
