The answer

Marital problems require wisdom and legitimate handling, and divorce is not the first or only solution. It is disliked without need, and may be prohibited. If the divorce is revocable (not the third), the wife, during her (waiting period), must remain in the marital home. Her departure without the husband's permission makes her defiant (nashiz) and forfeits her right to maintenance, unless she is pregnant. She has her other rights, such as the mahr (dowry) and her clothes. Jewelry and gold revert to their source: if it was part of the mahr or a gift she acquired, then it is hers; otherwise, it belongs to the husband. Reconciliation is better, and efforts should be made to achieve it, preserving the marital relationship and for the sake of the children, along with the importance of sincere intention, fulfilling rights, and mutual respect.
