What is the ruling regarding a wife whose husband divorced her without clear reasons, and he refuses to give her her legitimate rights, and demands that she waive half of the deferred dowry and alimony, and falsely claims her knowledge of selling the jewelry?

Divorce is the most abhorrent of permissible acts and should only be resorted to when cohabitation becomes impossible and discord firmly established. If a husband divorces his wife, he must fulfill all her rights unless she waives them willingly. It is not permissible for the husband to harm his wife in order to make her ransom herself from him or waive her rights, for Allah, the Almighty, says: "O you who have believed, it is not lawful for you to inherit women by compulsion. And do not make difficulties for them in order to take [back] part of what you gave them unless they commit a clear immorality..." to His saying: "And how could you take it while you have gone in unto each other and they have taken from you a solemn covenant?" The husband's claim that the dowry jewelry was sold and that the wife knew about it does not negate her right to claim it, unless it is proven by clear evidence that she gifted it to him or acknowledged it. It is advisable to strive for reconciliation between the spouses, for Allah, the Almighty, says: "And if a woman fears from her husband desertion or evasion, there is no sin upon them if they make terms of settlement between them - and settlement is best." And His saying: "And that you pardon is nearer to righteousness. And do not forget graciousness between you."
