What is the ruling regarding the wife's entitlements after she requests a divorce, and what is the ruling regarding severing ties of kinship if the cutting off is from their side?

If a brother divorces his wife, she is entitled to her full deferred dowry and housing expenses for the duration of the 'iddah (waiting period) if the divorce is revocable. She is also entitled to a compensatory gift (mut'ah) according to the husband's financial capacity. It is permissible for the husband to refuse to divorce her until she waives some of her rights. Reconciliation between the spouses is advised; if it is not possible, then agreement on rights with forgiveness is necessary.

As for severing ties of kinship, it is impermissible and one of the major sins. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "A severer of kinship ties will not enter Paradise." Maintaining kinship ties is obligatory, even if they sever them. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, advised this, saying: "The one who maintains ties of kinship is not the one who reciprocates, but the one who maintains ties even when they are severed." Whoever maintains ties of kinship despite their severance and ill-treatment, it is as if "you are feeding them hot ashes," and he will have support from Allah against them.
