f:603 -    Wife is disobedient and threatens to sue
Country : ,
Name : submittername
Question:     My wife does not obey me. Can I divorce her? What about my daughter? My wife is threatening me that she will sue me.  What should I do?
............................................................................
Answer:     If the wife refuses to obey the husband, she will be considered a sinner.  To make the situation reasonable, one should resort to mediation to sort out the differences.  If all attempts fail, then the husband has the right to divorce.  If the husband wants to divorce the wife, then he should first give one Talaq.

If the girl is a minor, then she will stay with her mother until majoring.  The expenses (Nafqa) will be the responsibility of the father.  After she comes of age, she will stay with the father.

As far as the threat of suing in a court of law is concerned, you please contact the law experts to guard yourself against it.  Keep trying for a second marriage.  Allah-willing you will get an acceptable match.

And Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala) knows best.
