Is it permissible to divorce a good wife who is not neglectful after two years of a traditional marriage due to a lack of love?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Most homes are built upon Islam and good companionship, not on love. A man should not divorce his wife as long as he has no grievance against her regarding her character, religion, or good companionship, due to the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "The most detestable of lawful things to Allah is divorce." Love can emerge, fade, weaken, and strengthen. If divorce were to occur due to weakening love, most homes would crumble.
