Is it permissible for a married woman to supplicate for her husband to be replaced by another better than him in this world and the Hereafter, or to supplicate to be a widow rather than divorced, or for her current husband not to be her husband in the Hereafter while being replaced by one better than him, or to supplicate for separation from her husband and for her to be compensated with someone better than him, given the impossibility of life with him and his ill-treatment of her, coupled with her fear of seeking divorce because of her young daughters?
