Is a wife entitled to seek divorce from her husband who is infertile, given that the husband was aware of this before marriage and concealed it from her, and she desires to have children, and she is incompatible with her husband who does not fulfill all his financial obligations towards her?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A woman is permitted to seek divorce from her husband if infertility is causing her harm, as there is a prohibition against seeking divorce without harm. Nevertheless, it is advisable to supplicate, seek forgiveness, and not rush, for Allah is capable of bestowing offspring.
