The answer

We recommend performing (prayer for guidance) and supplication before proceeding with divorce. Divorce is not advisable unless there is a clear benefit, such as an intractable dispute or the husband's infertility. It is important to note that divorce is a last resort, and the husband's bias towards his family is not a sufficient justification to destroy the marital relationship; rather, it is one of the minor disagreements that can be resolved with wisdom and gentleness.
