Am I still his wife after he threw me out of the house and said, "We won't continue together, and we will divorce"? And is it permissible for me to abort the fetus, knowing that I am in the first month of pregnancy?

The husband's statement, "I want a divorce," or "We will divorce and won't continue together," is not a divorce. The marital bond remains valid unless he explicitly pronounces the divorce or implies it with the intention of effecting it. The wife is entitled to her maintenance and dwelling. She is not permitted to abort the pregnancy unless there is a necessity that threatens her life. It is recommended to seek the help of two arbitrators to reconcile between the spouses.
