Is it permissible to seek divorce if the wife stipulated independent housing at the time of the marriage contract, and the husband promised to provide it within two or three years, but then broke his promise and began to hint that the period would extend to five years or more, knowing that the husband is religious and of good character, and what is the ruling on the mahr in this case?

A wife has the right to reside in an independent dwelling suitable for the couple's circumstances, even if it was not stipulated in the contract.

It is advisable to treat the husband with gentleness and consider his circumstances, not burdening him with what he cannot bear, especially if he is of good character and religious. The issue of providing an independent dwelling in the future may change, so one should have a good opinion of Allah. It is not permissible to seek divorce merely because the husband speaks of the possibility of not being able to provide a dwelling or maintenance in the future, unless the husband withholds the wife's legitimate right or inflicts harm upon her.
