The answer

Divorce is originally disliked, but it may become a necessity or an obligation in certain cases. In the event of abuse towards the husband's family, especially the mother, divorce may be an appropriate solution, because among the husband's rights over his wife is that she honors and respects his family. Scholars have mentioned that divorce is permissible when there is a need for it due to the wife's bad character or ill-treatment.
