The answer

After the legal marriage contract (aqd), a woman is considered a wife, not an fiancée, and this entails rights, such as the dowry (mahr). Divorce is not recommended due to the mentioned flaws; rather, patience is advised, along with attempting to counsel her, reminding her of the husband's rights, and viewing her with contentment and fairness, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "A believing man should not hate a believing woman. If he dislikes one of her characteristics, he will be pleased with another." As for family disagreements, one should not obey parents in matters that contradict Islamic law, while striving to resolve family problems. It is recommended to honor one's parents and treat them kindly.
