Q: My son married a girl of his choice. She is short tempered and does not take care of his clothes and food. She pushed him twice to give talaaq. He does not want to do anything against Deen. He thinks he is stuck with her for the rest of his life. She demanded to live separately so he got her a house. But they still fight a lot. He is very unhappy. What does the Deen say in this regard? Can he separate her?
A: If they are fighting all the time and they do not seem to be compatible then it is better that they separate after consulting with some experienced righteous aalim.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
