Question:
During 9 yrs of marriage my husband provided 10 000 rs for two yrs which is equal to our rent, our house is not in a posh locality for everything else I have to ask my mother . We don’t have an extraordinary life just lower middle class quite below my x family status. Our total expenses almost 35k which I am capable of earning but he doesnt let me instead wants me to continue asking my family plus he treats me very disrespectfully has degraded me in front of everyone married me on basis of lie that he earned which he did not.
Answer:
If your family is providing, you may continue to accept their help in order to keep marital peace even though he is remiss in your financial rights. His behavior towards you shows a problem which needs tawba and dhikr to resolve so that Allah brings back love and affection. If the insolvency and mismatch you describe are real and insurmountable, then
they can be grounds for a final separation payment (khulaa) initiated by yourself if that is your wish.
