Is a divorce that occurred under psychological pressure and threats from the father and brothers counted as a valid pronouncement?
Psychological pressure does not prevent divorce unless it causes you to lose awareness of what you are saying. Legally recognized duress that prevents the validity of divorce has conditions: the coercer's ability to carry out his threat, and the strong probability of severe harm occurring (such as killing, severe beating, long imprisonment, or taking a large amount of money) along with the inability to repel it. A father's threat to cancel residency is not considered duress unless these conditions are met. It is recommended to exercise wisdom in resolving problems between the wife and the husband's family. Independent housing may be a solution, as it is a wife's right.
