Is a wife sinful if she asks her husband to return to her country with the children, or for a complete separation, after his behavior changed and he started hiding financial matters from her, neglecting the children's problems, and refusing to share opinions and consult with her, despite his vow upon the Book of Allah not to conceal any financial matter from her?
The wife is advised to be patient with her husband, overlook his shortcomings, and not let his concealment of some financial matters be a cause for distress. She should also avoid obsessive thoughts and not be ungrateful to her companion.
She is also advised not to ask to return to her homeland unless her husband permits it. He is advised to fear Allah and refrain from forbidden acts. He is also advised to consider his wife's feelings, honor her, focus on self-reckoning, strive for the Hereafter, and not be a cause for the destruction of his home.
