What should a wife do if her husband agrees to divorce in court, but threatens to deprive her of her children and all her rights, and what should she say to the judge, and what are her rights and the rights of her children?
If the wife requests a divorce and the husband divorces her without stipulating the forfeiture of her rights, then she is entitled to all the rights of a divorced woman. However, if the husband stipulates the forfeiture of some of her rights, and she agrees to that, then only what they have agreed upon is forfeited. As for stipulating her waiver of child custody in exchange for divorce, there is a difference of opinion on this matter, and the majority of scholars hold that it is invalid. Issues related to custody and the rights of a divorced woman are detailed through the court. It is advised not to hasten in divorce except after exhausting all means of reconciliation.
