Is it permissible for a woman to abort her four-month-old fetus if her husband, in order to prevent her from divorcing him, forces her to resort to stratagems to leave him, given the impossibility of her divorcing him except with his consent, which he refuses?

It is not permissible for the wife to abort her pregnancy for the reason mentioned, because it is not permissible to abort a fetus except out of necessity, if there is a remaining danger to the mother's life. She should seek another legal stratagem that does not involve aggression or harm to others, and she should consult legal specialists.
