Should the wife seek a divorce from her husband, given that her relationship with him has been harmed by the continuous injustice from his family, his compromise of some religious principles to please his mother, and his inability to have children?

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.
