Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad
, is His slave and Messenger.
If the husband beats his wife without her being recalcitrant, or that
he beats her severely, leaving scars and marks on her body, then this
is a harm that allows her to ask for divorce; and if thehusband
refuses to divorce her, she may takeher case to the court so that the
judge would oblige him to divorce heror that the judge himself would
divorce her from him. She may as well ask her husband for Khul' due to
the harm he inflicts on her provided that she gives him back her dowry
so that he would divorce her. The same applies if she hates him to a
point that she fears not to fulfill his rights.
As regards the issue of fearing the future and him renting a house and
not owning one, then this is not a legitimate excuse for her to reject
him as a husband, as he is obliged only to provideher with a suitable
accommodation according to his ability; as Allaah Says (what means): {
Lodge them [in a section] of where you dwell out of your means.
}[Quran 65:6]
For more benefit, please refer to Fataawa 86307 and 89039 .
Allaah Knows best.
