Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah

My husband is verbally abusing me by swearing at me, insulting me and shouting at me whenever something is not done according to his will.

· 11 Rajab 1424 AH1 min readFatwa 9503English

Question

He is sometimes extremely nasty to me and says very hurtful things. I have asked that we go for counselling, he refuses. He thinks it is normal for a husband to treat a wife like this. I have asked for a divorce, he acted as if nothing happened. I love my husband, I would love for us to work things out, but he says he will not chance his life to accommodate me. What should I do?

Answer

Jazakallah for writing to the institute regarding your problems. Please forgive the delay in responding to your mail. I note that you are in South Africa. According to you, your husband is not prepared to improve the situation in your relationship. Do you think it will be possible for you to phone the institute or myself so that we can get more details from you? We await your response.

May Allah Ta'ala guide and comfort you, ameen.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
