What is the ruling of Sharia on a husband who drinks alcohol, beats his wife, and expels her from the home because she gave birth to a female, and what advice do you offer my daughter?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The woman's guardian should advise the husband to stop drinking alcohol and warn him of Allah's punishment. If he repents, his wife will return to him. Otherwise, the woman should seek a divorce due to the harm it poses to her religious and worldly affairs. The husband must know that the matter of procreation is in Allah Almighty's hands, and the gender of the fetus is determined by him, not by the wife.
