What is the ruling on a wife leaving her husband's home without his permission merely because she feels tired from pregnancy, especially if the absence continues for a few months after a marriage that has not yet completed four months? Is she entitled to seek khul' (divorce initiated by the wife) without a convincing reason other than the existence of "marital accumulations"? What are the husband's rights in his attempt to preserve his family given his wife's refusal to communicate with him and her insult to his family? What is the religious ruling in this case, and what should both parties do?

A wife leaving her husband's house without his permission is not permissible except out of necessity, such as leaving for medical treatment, for obligatory Hajj and Umrah, or to earn a living if the husband is in hardship. It is permissible for her to leave to consult a judge or to seek a fatwa. Khul' (dissolution of marriage initiated by the wife) is permissible if the wife dislikes her husband and fears that she will not be able to fulfill God's rights concerning him, but khul' is not permissible without a valid reason. The general principle is that khul' should occur with the husband's consent, but the judge can compel the husband to grant it if the woman is harmed by remaining with him. It is recommended for the husband to agree to it if she requests it for a legitimate reason. However, the wife should not rush into khul' and should be patient with her husband. The wife's family should advise her to live with her husband in kindness, and the husband should deal with his wife wisely and resolve disputes without external intervention. If he cannot, then sensible people should mediate.
