What should a divorced woman do who suffered extreme injustice from her ex-husband and his family, and has not seen divine retribution against those who wronged her, and is now deprived of her son and living in severe psychological distress?

The questioner should take it easy on herself and not dwell on the injustice that occurred. She must be patient, for life is a house of trial, and patience is part of faith.

If the husband's bad actions are proven, then he has mistreated her, and the wife owns the money she earns. She is not legally obligated to serve his children from another woman. The custody of her son is her right after divorce, as long as she does not remarry.

Anyone who attempts to prevent her from this right commits clear injustice. She is permitted to take the matter to court, and the oppressed has the right to supplicate against those who oppressed them. Allah will grant victory to the oppressed whenever He wills.

We advise forgiveness, for it is difficult for the soul, but it has good consequences in this world and the Hereafter.

What the questioner mentioned about this man's previous wife and daughter, and that they incited her rape — if proven — is a clear sin, and they must repent.

The husband's family should intervene to reconcile, not to inflame the dispute. It is strange that the questioner's family refused to allow her son into their home.
