Marital problems are very common. If the problems stem from the husband, then the wise woman must look for the reasons why her husband’s behavior towards her has changed. It cannot be imagined that a couple would have a happy married life, then things turn upside down suddenly unless there are reasons that push the husband to do such things. We know sometimes it could be a kind of upheaval that a man goes through as a result of bad company. If it becomes clear to the wife that she has nothing to do with the changes in her husband, then this is a test for her from Allah, so she must choose between bearing with patience what her husband is doing, whilst continuing to advise him and pray for him, or seeking divorce, if she cannot put up with his mistreatment.
