Question:
Asalam O Alaikum,
I have a friend who she is married but now she is taking divorce from him because of his bad character (sleeping with other ladies and all that kind of stuff). Is she doing right taking divorce from him, this kind of things he has done too many times… And now she said I will not marry again what Islam guide us on this kind of stage whether she get marry with someone or she can stay alone. Her age is 2_.
Thank You
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
If her husband is in reality, as you describe, then she would be in her rights to request a divorce from him. If he expresses firm intention to change his ways, it is up to her to forgive or not. As for marrying again, marriage is sunnah, but don’t take her words – at this emotional stage in her life – with seriousness. Time will heal this wound insha-Allah and allow her to move on. But if you are a man, be careful that you are not a source of fitna.
