Husband not fulfilling the needs of his wife and family

Q: My husband and I are married for the past five years but till to day he has not taken my responsibility and now we have a daughter and its the same with her. I have to keep asking for financial help from my parents and the income my husband brings is for his parents and siblings as he says they are his responsibility. I live in the UK and I get some money from the government because of my daughter and my husband expects me to run the house with that money. Even for our child's clothes I have to ask my parents. Please can you tell me where do I stand and what are my rights in Islam. I have tried explaining to my husband that me and our child are his responsibility but he does not understand and all this is taking a toll on our relationship. I will await your reply.

Permanent ligation

Q: My wife got three babies by operation. During all three I have consulted many doctors and hospitals to have normal pregnancy but it was not done. My three babies were born in 2002 ,2005 and 2008. During the third pregnancy there was very serious health issue of my wife i.e. sugar , anaemia, joint paint, etc. The Dr before operation told me I must allow her to do operation to avoid further pregnancy. I checked with one Mufti saheb he said as per Dr report you can agree. I signed the document but due to some complication in the operation the Dr was not able to do the second operation to stop pregnancy but she told and warned me I must do this later. Alhamdulillah after six years I again got a 4th baby. My wife is pregnant and expected Mid of April. I am Saudi Arab. During this eight month she again have many complication i.e. sugar , anaemia, joint paint etc. Still As per Doctor this time they will not try for normal operation as earlier all three were not normal. Please Advise. Shall I do the Operation to stop further pregnancy? As per Dr I shall do the operation to stop further pregnancy.
