Husband involved in extra marital affairs

Submitted by admin on Wed, 2017-02-01 10:42

Q: My husband drinks and gambles and has extra marital affairs with women, comes late at night three, four o'clock, does not give me and my daughters time, not even talk to me, always in anger, does not give me money, but he never beats me up or abuses, does not allow me to do job, but i'm totally fed up of his behaviour. Even I am in depression sometimes thinking of suicide. Can I seek divorce from him? How? What about sponsorship of daughters? Please guide me. Although I know Allah Ta'ala does not like divorce.

A: Yes, you can seek a divorce.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
