It is forbidden for a woman to seek divorce from her husband without a legitimate and compelling reason for it. A severe warning has been issued against those who do so. Among the reasons for seeking divorce are: ill-treatment, her dislike of him to the extent that she cannot bear to live with him, or his commanding her to commit sins, or his being an adulterer.
