What is the ruling of Islam regarding the behavior of a wife who left her home and daughter after a dispute with her husband and went to a hotel, and does the husband have the right to seek separation based on that?
Marital problems are normal. It is necessary to exercise wisdom and deliberation to avoid divorce and family disintegration; for divorce is originally prohibited and only permitted out of extreme necessity, such as differences in character and animosity that prevent the observance of Allah's limits. A wife leaving the house without her husband's permission is not permissible and is considered an act of defiance (nushooz). Do not let jealousy or anger be a reason for making rash decisions. The advice is to manage the wife gently, establish foundations for interaction between the spouses, and exercise self-control when solving problems.
