Does the husband have the right to change his previous agreements after divorce, and what is his right regarding the custody of a 3-year-old child and preventing their enrollment in a nursery?
If the agreement between the spouses for the husband to care for the child while the wife attends the institute is a promise, then fulfilling it is commendable (mustahabb) but not obligatory. If it is a condition made after marriage, then fulfilling it is not obligatory. As for the husband preventing his wife from taking the child to the nursery, the education, upbringing, and discipline of the child are the father's responsibility. Consultation between the spouses is advisable, prioritizing the child's best interest. Disputes should be referred to the court. It is recommended for the spouses to reconcile to avoid the negative effects of separation on their children.
