The answer

If a husband mistreats his wife and does not provide for her financially, the wife has the right to seek a divorce due to harm, and her leaving to her family's home without his permission is not considered an act of defiance (nushooz). The wife is advised to communicate with her husband, remind him of his religious duties, and warn him of the consequences of his injustice. If he persists in his mistreatment, she should choose what is best for her between seeking a divorce or enduring patiently.
