Marital problems

Q: I am sending you a problem of my friend. In her first marriage she was very happy with the person whom she loved, he was flirtatious by nature but made her happy by all means but divorced her after two years as he got good opportunity of re marriage on the basis of that she did not bleed first night. She was heart broken and married again, born 2 kids, but her husband is physically, sexually and financially weak by all means and now life has become hell for her and she has no way out. What does Islam says if a woman gets no satisfaction, happiness and finances from her husband? She can't get divorce second time as this is taboo in society. Please don't be harsh and give her a reasonable solution which will bring happiness in her life.

A: We will advise that if she can manage then she should remain with the second husband and try and make him happy and forgive his shortcomings. Allah will take care of her.

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