Divorce is the right of the husband

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I asked my husband for a divorce and he refuses to give me it. He told me to leave. He doesn’t support the kids and I. We’ve been arguing alot and he was making threats. Can a family member issue the divorce or do I have to seek advice and counsel elsewhere? I am mentally and emotionally lost.

Bismillaah

A: No. Divorce is the right of the husband. We suggest that you go to the Jamiat of your locality and ask them to assist you in this matter.

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