The answer

The husband must treat his wife with kindness, giving her her material and emotional rights without begrudging or harming her. He must spend on her appropriately. The wife's family is not obligated to spend on her. If the husband mistreats his wife by insulting her and her family without justification, she has the right to seek divorce due to harm. It is recommended to try to reach an understanding with the husband first, then involve wise individuals for reconciliation. If that does not succeed, there is no objection to seeking a divorce.
