The answer

Marriage is a strong covenant for permanence and stability, and it aims at raising children. This relationship should not be jeopardized by simple disagreements. Islamic law has forbidden a wife from seeking divorce without a valid reason, and whoever does so will be deprived of the scent of Paradise. If your wife is seeking a divorce without cause, be patient with her, remind her of Allah and the impermissibility of seeking divorce without a reason, and consider if there is any shortcoming on your part towards her. If that doesn't work, involve people of good will to mediate and advise. If she insists on seeking divorce after all attempts, you may respond to her request, but we advise you not to rush, but to be patient and pray.
