Is it better to remain in a marriage where the husband suffers from psychological problems, stinginess, infidelity, and a lack of responsibility, or to separate to protect the children's well-being and future?

The fundamental principle concerning divorce is that it is reprehensible in Islamic law, and one should not resort to it unless reconciliation between the spouses becomes impossible. It is preferable to exercise patience, overlook mistakes, and focus on the good aspects of the partner's character. However, if the husband does not reform or treat her kindly, the wife must weigh staying with him against separating from him and choose the lesser of two evils.
