Should the wife give her husband a final chance after he retracts his divorce, despite her family's insistence that she leave him due to his mistreatment and one of them predicting his misfortune, especially since he has pledged not to repeat the abuse?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A wife is permitted to request a divorce and bring her case before a judge if her husband harms her. However, she is not permitted to do so without harm. Mere disagreements do not allow her to seek a divorce unless they result in harm to her. The statements of others about the husband's bad character are not to be taken into consideration; rather, the criterion is the occurrence of harm. It is advisable to be patient and not to rush, especially if the husband is remorseful and has promised not to repeat the action.
