If the young man drinks alcohol, neglects prayer, and curses religion, then you and your father erred by agreeing to your marriage to him. If the marriage contract has been concluded, refer the matter to the court to annul the contract if his apostasy is proven to them. Otherwise, you may request a divorce or khul' in exchange for waiving some of your rights. And you must repent to Allah for your negligence.
