Is it permissible for me to complete my free university studies, given my ability to balance them with my home, despite my current husband's refusal, and the fact that he previously promised me that I could complete my studies, especially since I aspire to study to help me in case of divorce from marital problems?
A wife is not permitted to leave the house for study or other purposes without her husband's permission, unless there was a condition stipulated in the marriage contract allowing her to do so. In such a case, the condition is valid and binding, and if the husband breaches it, she has the right to annul the marriage. However, if it was merely a promise from the husband, it is not binding. If the study does not require leaving the house and does not infringe upon the husband's rights, then he has no right to prevent her from pursuing it. If the husband treats her poorly, she has the right to seek divorce or khula'.
