The answer

Divorcing a barren wife is permissible if there is a need for procreation, and there is no dislike in it. Rather, it may be recommended if the wife is not obedient and wishes to live according to the Western lifestyle. However, if it is highly probable that she will benefit from advice and become righteous, and it is possible to persuade her to stay while the man marries another, then it is better not to divorce her. In the case of polygyny, the husband must be just between them in terms of lodging and financial support.
