Was the complainant wrong to ask for a divorce after her husband divorced her with a single pronouncement, especially since she was menstruating due to a miscarriage, and after her miscarriage of the fetus? And is the waiting period considered to have ended with the miscarriage, knowing that the miscarriage occurred five days before the divorce?
The wife has the right to seek protection from the harm and injustice of her husband's family. If she is harmed by staying with her husband, she may request a divorce. If the husband apostatizes from Islam and does not repent, it is forbidden for his wife to remain with him, and she must separate from him. Furthermore, abandoning prayer and breaking the fast in Ramadan without a valid excuse are both serious matters and are considered grounds for a woman to seek a divorce. Good relations should be maintained between the wife and her in-laws, and care should be taken to avoid injustice and harm. If proper seclusion (khulwa sahihah) has occurred, the pregnancy is attributed to the husband.
