Is it forbidden for a wife to request divorce due to psychological abuse and continuous humiliation from her husband, and threats of divorce, and fear for her sanity and the diminishment of her faith, especially given her weak psyche and his treatment of her causing breakdown and nervousness?
A woman is permitted to request a divorce due to evident harm, such as verbal abuse. The husband's guardianship over his wife is one of care, management, and preservation, not one of domination and subjugation. The husband must treat her kindly, and respect and understanding should prevail between the spouses to achieve tranquility and stability. Divorce should not be rushed unless all avenues for reconciliation have been exhausted.
