Is the petitioner considered an oppressor for divorcing his wife after he saw her humiliating his sick mother and acting arrogantly towards her, in addition to hearing statements about her flirting with her cousin, knowing that he gave her all her rights after the divorce?
Divorce is permissible if there is a need for it, such as a wife's bad character or ill-treatment. However, it is preferable to attempt reconciliation, be patient, and avoid divorce until all legitimate means of resolution have been exhausted. A wife's mistreatment of her husband's mother is considered ill-treatment, and divorcing the wife for this reason is not an injustice. What the husband was told about his wife after their divorce should not be mentioned to anyone; rather, she should be covered, and not spoken ill of, unless there is a legitimate reason to do so.
