What should a wife do to prevent divorce after problems escalate with her husband, who refuses reconciliation and delegates to his father, while his father and relatives desire the divorce? Are there any supplications to prevent divorce?

The answer

We advise you to try and reach an understanding with your husband, and to clarify that divorce is the last resort.

There is no objection to seeking the mediation of some righteous people, whether from family or others, to speak with him. There is also no harm in relinquishing some of your rights, such as maintenance or a share (of nights), so that he does not divorce you, just as Sawdah (may Allah be pleased with her) did with Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her).

There is no specific supplication for this matter, but supplication in general is one of the most beneficial means for achieving every legitimate request, and it is beneficial in all circumstances, especially if its etiquettes are observed.
