Asking the husband for divorce

Submitted by admin on Wed, 2017-02-08 17:09

Q: If you do not agree with the decision your husband has of wanting a second wife, just because you are carrying his second child while wanting a second wife and he gets upset. Can one still get a faskh?

A: If you feel that you will not be able to continue with the nikaah and fulfil the marital obligations and responsibilities and you feel quite sure that you will not regret your decision later on, then with respect you may ask your husband to divorce you. We advise you to also consult your parents or the elders of your family in regard to this matter.

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