Asking for a separation
Question
My husband is having an affair with other women, which he refuses to break relations with. He is a very abusive man who abuses me emotionally, mentally and physically. We have 2 children together who have witnessed all the abuse. Do I have grounds for a divorce and what are they?
Answer
If you cannot manage living with him then respectfully ask for separation.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
