Living with Marital Disputes
In a dispute between spouses, there have been attempts to reconcile the two parties, but there is no result, and the husband continues to avoid communication at home to the extent that there is no talking or greeting between them, and he sleeps in another room. Is it permissible to continue in the marital life or to seek divorce so that there is no sin that angers Allah Almighty, in the case where the reconciliation is from the wife's side and the husband refuses? She has no objection to staying with the children, hoping for reward from Allah Almighty. Is this correct, and most importantly, should there be no sin upon the wife?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: She must continue to reconcile between herself and him until the disagreement is resolved. This effort on her part lifts the sin, and she should treat him well with all her ability, and take great care of herself in front of him, and also take care of the children, fulfilling her duties in the best manner and form, so that there is no shortcoming on her part. She should turn to God Almighty to relieve her distress, and God knows best.
