Request:
Dear Shaykh Hisham,
Hope you are doing very well.
My aunt wants to know what she should do? Her daughter is in a bad marriage. My cousin’s husband does not financially support her or is there for the kids & her. Husband is abusive, even says he does not need a wife. My aunt is very worried and would like guidance on how to proceed, should she take her daughter out of the marriage? It has been seven tough years for her daughter and they have a boy and a girl.
My aunt asks that you please say a special prayer for her daughter. Please advice
May Allah always Bless you and give you long life, Ameen.
Response:
If the husband and father is not providing financial support then that is grounds for her obtaining divorce. If your aunt estimates that that is best for the welfare of her daughter and her children then trust in Allah and go ahead. If unsure then let her bear in patience and expect reward here and hereafter. Mawlana Shaykh Hisham is praying for you all in sha Allah.
