Does the questioner feel guilty for divorcing his wife, towards whom he felt aversion after the engagement, knowing that he had strongly desired her before that?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Divorce itself does not inherently wrong a woman. However, if you frightened her while you were agitated and yelling at her, then this is an injustice for which you must repent, due to the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "It is not permissible for a Muslim to frighten another Muslim," and Allah's Almighty saying: "And live with them in kindness."
