The answer

A husband must spend on his wife, and a woman is permitted to seek a divorce if he does not spend on her. It is advisable not to rush into seeking a divorce. Instead, she should counsel and remind her husband, seek help from his influential relatives, and supplicate for him, especially if he is a righteous man. A woman is permitted to seek a divorce if her husband is unable to provide food, drink, and shelter, or if he is capable but relies on others and neglects his duty of spending.
