Is it permissible for a woman to seek divorce from her husband who drinks alcohol, suspects her, harbors ill thoughts about her, does not trust her, does not provide for her, and does not fulfill his responsibilities, and what type of lawsuit would that be, and is a divorce ruling certain in this case?
If the aforementioned traits are present in the husband (drinking alcohol, constant unwarranted suspicion of the wife, and withholding financial support despite being able), the wife should first advise him. If he does not respond, she is permitted to seek divorce. The husband's insistence on drinking alcohol or his causing harm to her permits seeking divorce. If he withholds financial support despite being able, she may take her case to the judiciary to compel him to provide maintenance or grant a divorce. The type of lawsuit in this case is divorce due to harm, and its acceptance or rejection depends on the judge and the extent to which the harm is proven to him.
