The question

Is it permissible to seek divorce from a husband who is 34 years old and has five children, while the wife married him when she was no more than 14 years old, and he married her without the knowledge of his first wife, and he only comes to her for three hours a week, and he prevented her from having children with him, knowing that she has not received her marital rights for six years?

The answer

A husband must be just between his wives in terms of lodging and financial support. Childbearing is a wife's right, and her husband is not permitted to deny it to her. Therefore, if the husband only stays three hours a day and prevents childbearing, he is oppressive.

The wife should advise him with wisdom and good counsel, and seek help from some wise individuals. If he does not respond, she has the right to seek a divorce, but she should not rush into it unless it is the best course of action for her.
