What is the way to deal with a husband who threatens to leave his wife in her home country for long weeks, and does not care for his family, preferring café gatherings and friends, and shows disrespect to her family, knowing that he has performed Hajj and prays, and the wife does not want a divorce?

Rarely is a family free from misunderstanding between spouses. The husband is religiously obligated to treat his wife kindly. It is not considered kind treatment to threaten the wife with sending her to her family, or to prefer friends over her, or to harm her family.

If the husband is abusive, the wife's patience in this situation brings great reward and preserves family stability. She should frequently supplicate to Allah to rectify his condition. There are also efforts that should be diligently pursued, such as adorning herself for her husband, being a good wife to him, showing affection, and caring for his affairs and home.

The husband should not pay attention to any negative reports about his wife unless there is clear proof. Both spouses should keep their children away from any marital problems and conceal them as much as possible.
