The answer

If the suitor is ill-spoken of scholars, does not accept advice, is bad-mannered and ill-tempered, prone to many problems, and disobedient to his mother, then it is not advisable to continue with the marriage to him. If he is already dominating her while she is in her family's home, how will her situation be with him after marriage? Therefore, her desire to separate from him due to the corruption of his faith and character is a sound and correct decision, and may Allah compensate her with someone better than him.
