The ruling on obeying a father in divorcing his wife

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A message reached the program from one of the listening brothers, who says: I traveled with my father to Yemen, and he proposed to a girl for me whom I did not know. After the proposal, we visited the girl's family, and my father asked me: What is your opinion of her? I told him: She is suitable. I married her and came to love her. After several months, disagreement began between us and our parents because she argues with my younger brothers, and my father says that she conveys our secrets to the neighbors. He asked me to divorce her. What is your opinion?
May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Do not rush. Advise her so that she does not do what contradicts your parents' opinion, such as conveying their secrets to the neighbors. Advise her, teach her, and inform her that this is not permissible, and that she must obey and listen in what is right. You advise her, and she must obey and listen. Likewise, the parents should not rush in demanding her divorce, and they should also advise her with kind words and a good manner until the problem is resolved and matters stabilize.
Do not rush in divorce, for this is an illness that requires treatment. You must treat her with kind words, a good manner, and encouragement and warning. Likewise, the parents treat this with you using kind words and a good manner until the problem is resolved, if Allah wills, and matters calm down and your life together continues. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
