Is it permissible to seek divorce from a fiancé who does not maintain prayer, asks for things that are not permissible except after marriage, whose family interferes excessively in his life, who speaks ill of her during problems, who verbally abused her father, who is stingy, and who wants to prevent her from completing her studies?

After the marriage contract, the woman becomes a wife, and it becomes permissible for both to enjoy one another. However, the wife is not obligated to allow her husband intimacy until the deferred dowry is paid. The husband does not have the right to prevent her from traveling before that. Therefore, the current husband of the questioner does not have the right to prevent her from traveling or studying. After the dowry is paid, he has the right to prevent her from traveling and studying if she did not stipulate otherwise in the contract. If the husband agrees to her travel, there is no need for divorce, and one must be cautious about being lenient with prayer. If the wife dislikes her husband and fears she will not fulfill his rights, then there is no objection to seeking khul'.
