Husband making azal without the wife's consent
Question
I've been married for 2 years and my husband practises azl. I am not very young and would like a family but he is preventing it. He also always says he wants a second wife before we have children. This upsets me because I am his wife now and it feels unfair to me to be subjected to this. Is this grounds for leaving him.
Answer
He does not have the right to make azl without your consent. He is cheating you of your right.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
