Is it permissible to divorce one's wife because her husband does not honor his parents and supports her against them?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Harmful actions towards parents, abandoning them, and prioritizing a wife's satisfaction over theirs are among the most severe forms of disobedience and the most heinous sins. Disobeying parents is one of the major sins, while honoring and treating them well are confirmed obligations. This man must be advised and warned of the consequences of his actions if he does not repent.
