The answer

The question makes it clear that a true believer does not despair or become despondent over the changing circumstances of Muslims, and that the calamities and hardships a believer faces are a trial from God. As for the rights of a divorced woman, divorce via email is not recognized unless confirmed by the husband. If the divorce is established, she can claim the full dowry if conjugal privacy (khalwa) occurred, or half the dowry if it did not. The Companions unanimously agreed that khalwa is equivalent to sexual intercourse in entitling the woman to the full dowry. As for his breaking his promise, making you leave your job, and breaking his oath, these are rewards and good deeds for the believing woman on the Day of Judgment.
