Asking the husband for divorce
Question
I recently got married to a man I thought I knew. But I have found out he is not the person I thought he was. He will chat different women on social medias. It used to bother me then. I got over it and tried to over look. For the past two months I was happy and we never argued as he continued doing what he always does. Then the other day he put a picture of him and a woman he met on social sites on his whatsapp. I couldn't believe my eyes. Me and him come from the same circle I felt really ashamed like he could do such a thing. When I confronted him he told me that's his page he can put what he wants. This really got me angry because I felt he has disrespected me. I decided I can't deal with him and just to ask for a divorce. My question is will my reason be valid or I will be committing a great sin. I don't want a divorce but he is pushing me to call it quits.
Answer
If you are quite sure that he is involved in haraam then you have the right to ask him to separate you.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
