The Mother's Disobedience in the Divorce of the Wife
What is the ruling if a mother orders her son to divorce his wife against his will, and the son responds to her request with refusal, while his mother reacts with anger towards him?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is essential to maintain the kindness to the mother by all means that do not involve disobedience to God Almighty. Divorcing the wife is an injustice to her, and it is a disobedience, so one should not obey the father and mother in this matter unless this wife is harmful and detrimental to the family due to her many temptations. And God knows best.
