The Punishment of the Oppressor in This World

Question
A woman was subjected to severe injustice by one of her relatives, and she was waiting for justice to be served to her in this world. However, she is living in comfort. Is the punishment in this world of the same kind as the action?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: She must be patient and seek reward from God Almighty, for He will hold accountable for injustice either in this world or in the Hereafter. We must strive to keep our hearts pure, and God knows best.
