What is the husband's right if the wife demands divorce?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
A woman is not permitted to seek a divorce unless there is a legally valid reason. If discord occurs, reconciliation should be attempted first, and divorce should only be resorted to if reconciliation is impossible. If the wife requests a divorce and separation becomes inevitable, it is preferable for the husband to divorce her without compensation. However, he is permitted to stipulate compensation in exchange for the divorce, unless he was the cause of the harm and the reason for the divorce.
