Is it permissible to divorce upon discovering incompatibility between the spouses, due to differences in age, educational and professional levels, cultural backgrounds, and the husband's inability to provide for the family, in order to avoid future problems, especially given the absence of children?
A wife's superiority over her husband in terms of knowledge, profession, or age does not affect marital life and its continuity. It is advisable not to divorce her as long as she possesses good character and religious commitment. However, if these differences, coupled with differences in language and country, negatively impact the marital relationship to an unbearable extent, then there is no blame in divorcing her.
