The answer

It is not permissible to abort the fetus except for a legitimate religious reason. The inability to bear the responsibility of a child is not a legitimate religious reason. What was mentioned about the husband — hitting, verbally abusing, and not fulfilling his responsibilities — contradicts good companionship. Reconciliation is better than divorce, but if divorce is deemed more beneficial, then let them separate amicably.
