A sister asks:

I’m currently having some issues with my husband, I want to call for divorce but I don’t know if I’m being dramatic, I will list the issues and I ask you to please help me: [list deleted] This isn’t what I thought I was getting, can I ask for a divorce? ____ Advice: Shayṭān delights in separating spouses, so be wise and cautious. Do not let doubts or whispers influence your decisions. Continue to fulfil your husband’s rights as long as you remain in the marriage. Remember that your situation may not necessarily be better after divorce. Remarriage for a divorced woman can become more challenging, and even when it is easy, finding a spouse who is better than the previous one is not guaranteed. In comparison to other marital problems, in my humble opinion, the reasons you mentioned are not strong enough to justify divorce. You can still grow and succeed in your own right—your progress does not have to depend on your husband’s status or achievements. If he permits you to pursue knowledge, whether in person or online, you can continue to progress, in shā’ Allāh. Also, it is worth noting that many dedicated students of knowledge and scholars are already married, which often pushes ambitious women like yourself into the realms of polygyny which carries its own challenges.
