If a woman is harmed by remaining with her husband due to his ill-treatment and frequent quarrels, it is permissible for her to seek divorce, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace be upon him): "Any woman who asks her husband for divorce without a sound reason, the fragrance of Paradise will be forbidden to her." The "sound reason" (al-ba's) refers to a hardship that compels her to seek separation. If reconciliation between them is possible, that is better.
