Is a wife obligated to endure her husband's insults towards her mother and his attempts to sow discord between her and her family, despite him being kind, affectionate, and loving towards her, and what is the legitimate solution in this situation?
Marital problems before consummation are common, and we advise you to be patient with them. Things will hopefully improve after marriage, as the husband will feel more at ease interacting with you. We congratulate you on your patience and your supplications for your husband, and we urge you to continue advising and supplicating; for Allah Almighty says: "Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account." Remember that seeking divorce without a valid reason deprives one of the fragrance of Paradise, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Any woman who asks her husband for divorce without any strong reason, the fragrance of Paradise will be forbidden to her." There is no harm in you sitting or going out with him, but try to reconcile between your husband and your mother, and reassure your mother that you will protect yourself, knowing that you have the right to refuse him until he pays you the immediate (mu'ajjal) part of the dowry.
