My wife is not strong enough to face husband's family interference in the household

My wife is not strong enough to face husband's family interference in the household

Question:

Assalamu'alaikum, Ustadz.

In a husband-wife relationship, a husband has promised to protect his wife and children. However, he broke his promise. In the case of a dispute between the wife and her family, the husband slanders his wife back. He accused his wife of wanting to separate him from his parents and family.

In fact, previously his wife always listened to what her husband said. However, the husband's family always interferes in their household, so that the wife is unable to face the husband's family.

In such conditions, should the wife survive or leave her husband, Ustadz?

Thank you for the answer, Ustadz.

Salam,

Fulanah

Answer:

Wa'alaikumussalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

If you can please (make peace), then that's better. To do this, the two sides of the wife and husband each send a hakam (mediator) for deliberation. If indeed both of them want ishlah, God willing, it will provide taufik for both of them.

However, if this still does not solve the problem, leave everything to Allah. The trick, multiply the tasbih and prostration (sunnah prayer, especially at night).

A wife has the right to file a divorce suit against her husband because of her husband's bad character. If the lawsuit is accepted by the court and the judge makes a decision, then the two will legally separate.

But our hope is that it will still be maintained and given a way out so that we can be ishlah and become a happy family, full of mawaddah and mercy.

Wallâhu a'lam bish-showâb.

Regards!
