Question

My husband is not taking care of me and my child financially. I was a working person before marriage and now I'm still working. He thinks that I am earning enough and don't need his money. Can I ask for a divorce because of this?

Answer

If you are finding it difficult and unmanageable you may request him.

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