The answer

Previous discussions have addressed dealing with a husband who drinks alcohol, or who has an illicit relationship, or who does not fulfill marital rights, in prior fatwas. It is permissible for the wife to seek a divorce from the ruler if the husband is immoral or harmful to her. As for the annulment of the contract (فسخ العقد), it occurs due to the presence of a defect in the husband that was not disclosed before the marriage contract.
